+cat << EOF
+The hieroglf package provides a Metafont version of about 60 Egyptian
+hieroglyphs from Serge Rosmorduc's comprehensive hieroglyph package. Sufficient
+glyphs are provided for writing a few names like Cleopatra and Ptomemy
+(together with cartouches), and there is a command for transliterating into a
+modern alphabet. The package is not for serious Egyptologists.
+
+Hieroglyphic writing was used between abot 3000 BC and 400 AD. It is one of a
+series of archaic fonts.
