Software: Gardiner font
Mark-Jan Nederhof's Gardiner font pages
About a year ago, Mark-Jan Nederhof announced his New Gardiner font, with the 1071 signs from the Unicode proposal WG2/N3349R. The major weaknesses in that font were in categories A, B, C (= men, women, gods). These are arguably the most difficult categories to draw, and he says "unwisely these were the ones I had done first." However in the past few weeks he has completely redrawn all signs in categories A, B, C. and says that they now look a lot nicer with much greater uniformity.
