Cuneiform fonts for use in TeX and LaTeX word processors

The signs are given in New-Assyrian representation, stored in three fonts that each could contain 256 characters (so there is room for 768 characters). The three fonts are called:
cfi10, cfii10, cfiii10 compatible with a 10pt lettersize
and can be viewed as .ps-files by clicking on the names.
The fonts are reproduced and available in a large number of magnifications, the so called pk-files.
'Compatible with 10pt' means that the cuneiform symbols in a document with a lettersize of 10pt are readable and do not increase the line distance if used in the middle of a text (unlike in these html-documents). Also 18pt style files are available:
cfi18, cfii18, cfiii18
which may be viewed as well (.ps files)
If you don't have a postcript-viewer, like ghostview, you make look at these fonts converted to gif-images, however in this conversion (using latex2html) some accuracy is lost. The signs in the gif-files look awfull, and e.g. do not have constant stem-thickness. I hope to find out the correct way of converting. Anyway, the files are here:
cfi18.gif, cfii181.gif, cfiii18.gif
The fonts can be used in a standard way with the TeX or LaTeX wordprocessor. To reference the fonts a TeX-definition file was made, containing at the moment over a 1000 references to phonetic values or logogram names. One doesnot have to remember the font positions and not even the sign name for a particular phonetic value. e.g. ({\Ak ....} encloses the ''Akkadian environment'')
{\Ak \DINGIR\GAL\GAL} will produce 'the great gods'
but
{\Ak \UD\Ufour\BABBAR\HISH\LAH\LIH\PAR\UTU} etc.
will all produce the same sign.

For LaTeX a style file cuneiform.sty is available that adds the fonts as a font-family, choosing automatically the right size in titles, footnotes etc. within LaTeX.

Availability of the TeX-fonts
The .tfm and .pk-files together with the definition file, are available upon request. I am still trying to extend and improve the metafont-files and would like to wait with a release of the .mf files.

Conversion to .gif-files
For the purpose of these html-documents, I used LaTeXtoHTML to produce separate transparent .gif-images for each cuneiform sign. Some of the smoothness of the fonts seem to be lost, I don't know how to solve that yet. The current version is shown in these documents. The set of gif-files (each renamed to the cuneiform sign name) is available upon request on a ''as is'' basis.
