% \section{Introduction}
%
% The Phoenician alphabet and characters is a direct ancestor of our modern day
% Latin alphabet and fonts. 
% The font presented here is one of a series of fonts intended to show how
% the modern Latin alphabet has evolved from its original Phoenician form
% to its present day appearance.
% 
% This manual is typeset according to the conventions of the
% \LaTeX{} \textsc{docstrip} utility which enables the automatic
% extraction of the \LaTeX{} macro source files~\cite{GOOSSENS94}.
%
%    Section~\ref{sec:usc} describes the usage of the package.
% Commented code for the fonts is in Sections~\ref{sec:mf} and~\ref{sec:fd}
% and source code for the package is in Section~\ref{sec:code}.
%
% \subsection{An alphabetic tree}
%
%    Scholars are reasonably agreed that all the world's alphabets are descended
% from a Semitic alphabet invented about 1600~\BC{} in the Middle 
% East~\cite{DRUCKER95}. The word `Semitic' refers
% to the family of languages used in the geographical area from
% Sinai in the south, up the Mediterranean coast to Asia Minor in the north and
% west to the valley of the Euphrates.
%
%    The Phoenician alphabet was stable by about 1100~\BC{} and the script was
% written right to left. In earlier times the writing direction was variable, 
% and so were
% the shapes and orientation of the characters. The alphabet consisted of
% 22 letters and they were named after things. For example, their first two 
% letters were called \textit{aleph} (ox), and \textit{beth} (house). 
% The Phoenician script had
% only one case --- unlike our modern fonts which have both upper- and 
% lower-cases. In modern terms the Phoenician abecedary was: \\
% A B G D E Y Z H $\Theta$ I K L M N X O P ts Q R S T \\
% where the `Y' (\textit{vau}) character was sometimes written as `F', and
% `ts' stands for the \textit{tsade} character.
%
%    The Greek alphabet is one of the descendants of the Phoenician alphabet;
% another was Aramaic which is the ancestor of the Arabic, Persian and Indian 
% scripts.
% Initially Greek was written right to left but around the 6th C~\BC{} became 
% \textit{boustrophedron}, meaning that the lines 
% alternated in direction. At about 500~\BC{} the writing direction stabilised 
% as left to 
% right. The Greeks modified the Phoenician alphabet to match the vocalisation
% of their language. They kept the Phoenician names of the letters, suitably
% `greekified', so \textit{aleph} became the familar \textit{alpha} and 
% \textit{beth} became \textit{beta}. At this
% point the names of the letters had no meaning. Their were several variants
% of the Greek character glyphs until they were finally fixed in Athens in
% 403~\BC.
% The Greeks did not develop a lower-case 
% script until about 600--700~\AD.
%
%    The Etruscans based their alphabet on the Greek one, and again modified it.
% However, the Etruscans wrote right to left, so their borrowed characters are 
% mirror images of the original Greek ones. Like the Phoenicians, the Etruscan
% script consisted of only one case; they died out before ever needing a
% lower-case script. The Etruscan script was used up until the first century 
% \AD, even though the Etruscans themselves had dissapeared by that time.
% 
%
%    In turn, the Romans based their alphabet on the Etruscan one, but as they 
% wrote left to right, the characters were again mirrored (although the early
% Roman inscriptions are boustrophedron). 
%
%    As the English alphabet is descended from the Roman alphabet
% it has a pedigree of some three and a half thousand years.
%
% \section{The \Lpack{phoenician} package} \label{sec:usc}
%
%    The Phoenician alphabet consisted of 22 letters.
% The Phoenician font as provided here consists of 23 letter shapes
% as there appears to be two forms of the letter \textit{vau}. 
% I have used infromation from Johanna Drucker~\cite{DRUCKER95} and
% Richard Firmage~\cite{FIRMAGE93}, as well as the
% \textit{Encyclopedia Brittanica}, in deciding on the letter shapes.
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\TTheta}
% \DescribeMacro{\TXi}
% \DescribeMacro{\Tsade}
% Many of the Phoenician characters 
% have a direct correspondence with the modern Latin alphabet. 
% For those characters that have a direct correspondance I have mapped
% the Phoenician letter to the uppercase Latin letter. 
% For those Phoenician characters
% have no Latin parallel but do have a Greek parallel, I have provided commands
% similar to the normal \LaTeX{} commands for greek, but with a `T' prefix.
% For example, |\TTheta| for the Phoenician version of the Greek Theta 
% ($\Theta$). (The initial `T' stands for `Text' as the commands can be
% used outside math mode). The Phoenician \textit{tsade} is accessed via 
% the |\Tsade| command. 
% 
% The letter sequence
% for the Phoenician alphabet in this mapping is:\\
% |A B G D E F (or V) Z H \TTheta I K L M N \TXi O P \Tsade Q R S T|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\tTheta}
% \DescribeMacro{\tXi}
% \DescribeMacro{\tsade}
%    I have also provided a font for right-to-left writing, where the characters
% appear as mirror images. This reversed font is accessible by typing the
% lower-case Latin characters rather than the upper-case ones (or the other
% commands as for the left-to-right font, but starting with a lower-case version
% of the initial letter of the command). 
% The abecedary as the Phoenicians would have written it (right to left) 
% in this form is: \\
% |t s r q \tsade p o \tXi n m l k i \tTheta h z f (or v) e d g b a|.
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\phncfamily}
%    This command selects the Phoenician font family. The family name is |phnc|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\textphnc}
% The command |\textphnc{|\meta{text}|}| typesets \meta{text} in the
% Phoenician font.
%     
%
% \section{The Metafont code} \label{sec:mf}
%
% \subsection{The parameter file}
%
%    We deal with the parameter file first, and start by announcing
% what it is for.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*up>
%%% PHNC10.MF  Computer Phoenician font 10 point design size.

%    \end{macrocode}
%    Specify the font size.
%    \begin{macrocode}

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \begin{macro}{u} 
% \begin{macro}{ht} 
% \begin{macro}{s} 
% \begin{macro}{o} 
% \begin{macro}{px} 
% \begin{macro}{font-normal-space} 
% \begin{macro}{font-normal-shrink} 
% \begin{macro}{font-x-height} 
% \begin{macro}{font-quad}
%    Define the very simple font parameters.
%    \begin{macrocode}
u#:=.2pt#;                 % unit width
ht#:=7pt#;                 % height of characters (CM cap-height is approx 6.8pt)
s#:=1.5pt#;                % width correction (right and left)
o#:=1/20pt#;               % overshoot
px#:=.7pt#;                % horizontal width of pen
font_normal_space:=7pt#;   % width of a blank space
font_normal_shrink:=.9pt#; % width correction for blank space
font_x_height:=4.5pt#;     % height of one ex
font_quad:=10pt#;          % an em

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
%
%    Finally, call the driver file for the Phoenician font.
%    \begin{macrocode} 
input phnctitle      %% switch to the driver file---Phoenician title

end

%</up>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{The driver file}
%
%    Announce the file and switch into Metafont mode
%
%    \begin{macrocode}

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{midloc}
% \begin{macro}{rightloc}
%    Variables for the middle xcoord and rightmost xcoord of a character.
%    \begin{macrocode}
numeric midloc, rightloc;
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{stylus}
%    Define the pen.
%    \begin{macrocode}
pickup pencircle xscaled px yscaled py;
stylus:=savepen;

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{beginglyph}
%    A macro to save some typing of beginchar arguments.
%    \begin{macrocode}
def beginglyph(expr code, unit_width) =
  beginchar(code, unit_width*ht#+2s#, ht#, 0);
  midloc:=1/2w; rightloc:=(w-s);
  pickup stylus enddef;

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{cmchar}
%    |cmchar| should precede each character
%    \begin{macrocode}
let cmchar=\;

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% 
%    Finally, input the file that does all the work.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 
input phncglyph;        % Phoenician glyphs

end
