- Yeah, they are on slopoke. To reply completely out of order:
-
- 3) This can be found in files called 'hermetic.tar.Z' and 'hermetic.tfm'.
- You'll need both. Install those, and you should be OK. The .'. symbol is
- mapped to 'T' in the hermetic font.
-
- 2) These are also in the above font, but for some weird reason only about 5 of
- the glyphs have come thru' and are usuable. The astrological font I tend to
- use is called 'astrosym' and can be found on tex.ac.uk. It supports three
- types of astrological font including calligraphic, bold and thin. Also has
- the glyphs of the planets.
-
- 1) The hebrew alphabet is also included included in 'hermetic', but doesn't
- appear to support the finals. Therefore, look on archie for a font called
- 'hclassic' which is the standard Classical Hebrew font ( the one you tend
- to see in occult works ) and supports the finals.
