Introduction
This provides a short test of the characters in the Poor Man’s Hieroglyph fonts
— the pmhg font family. Table 1 on page 8 shows the ‘numeric’ coded commands and the corresponding glyphs. Table 2 on page 9 shows the alphabetic
coding (in both single character and command form) and the corresponding
glyphs together with their transliterations. Note that not every glyph has a
transliteration.

The glyphs
As a single stream of glyphs:

\Hone 234567}
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
