Beautiful Hieroglyphs - Replace wikihiero images with beautiful alternatives
Beautiful Hieroglyphs is a free Chrome add-on developed by Beautiful Hieroglyphs. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. The main purpose of this add-on is to replace images that appear to be from wikihiero usage with higher quality alternatives.
The add-on provides fonts that are based on the tuxscribe glyphs, which can be found at the following link: [link]. These fonts have undergone some color correction to better match historical usage. Additionally, the New Gardiner font from [link] is also included.
One of the advantages of Beautiful Hieroglyphs is that all the images are packaged within the extension itself, so there are no additional network overheads when using it. However, it should be noted that there are currently 63 images that have not been replaced. The developer has stated that these remaining edge cases will be addressed in future releases.
Overall, Beautiful Hieroglyphs is a valuable add-on for those interested in Ancient Egyptian writing, providing beautiful alternatives to wikihiero images. It is a promising tool that is constantly being improved and updated.
