The above symbols are the first font of my Egyptian hieroglyphic TrueType fonts, in various sizes. It is a gif file, because I'm not uploading my font to your computer.

If neither of those works, then Send me email. If you don't have an unzip utility, visit Winzip 7.0 where you can find a free version of Winzip. It is a TrueType font. Unzip it (notice which directory you unzipped it to), and then install it using Windows' Start Menu/Settings/Control Panel/Fonts/Install New Font (get it from the directory you unzipped it to). A handy way to figure out which keystroke to use for each sign, make a table showing the sign next to the letter that you type, and print this table for your use. Alternatively, print out this page, and write in some of the keystrokes.
The following are the rest of my hieroglyphic characters:
