[Aztlan] Free Mayan Day and Month fonts

[ECOLING at aol.com]

A set of five fonts for Mayan day glyphs, month glyphs, and numbers
which were made available some years ago from the combined work
of Linda Schele, Nora England, and myself is now updated to work with
more modern printers.   Apologies for having neglected this update so long.

They can be sent to those who would like a copy.

Please first see the documents illustrating and explaining them.
Go to
www.TraditionalHighCultures.com/Mayan_Downloads.html
and there choose item number 1. on the list,
then you can download the two documents as .pdf files.

Please note that these fonts DO NOT enable you to type full long counts.   
They do not contain glyphs for Baktun, K'atun, Tuun, Winal, or K'in, 
nor any ISIG glyphs.
So those interested in typing birthdates will not find them adequate.

On the other hand, they do permit you to distinguish black
and red numbers in the same way Villacorta did for the codices,
via solid vs. outlined dots and bars, and they do enable you to
type a "ring number" in which the lowest digit is surrounded
by the image of a knotted rope.
They provide both horizontal-bar and vertical-bar numbers
in the codex-style fonts.   And they provide head-variant numbers
as well as bar-and-dot numbers in the classic monumental styles.

***

(If anyone knows how to put fonts on a web site so they are
downloaded automatically when requested, in the same manner as a
.pdf file is downloaded automatically, please let me know.
I haven't found that information yet in the manuals for dreamweaver.)

Best wishes,
Lloyd
