HitType – Typesetting Hittite cuneiform
This package allows for typing in Hittite cuneiform in LaTeX documents, using relatively simple commands based on the Latin transcriptions of the various signs. It also includes some formatting commands designed to allow for easy formatting of heterographic compounds, as well as shorthands for symbols commonly used in transcriptions.
The UllikummiA.ttf, UllikummiB.ttf, and UllikummiC.ttf files comprise the Ullikummi Hittite cuneiform fonts developed by Dr Sylvie Vanséveren, distributed with written permission from Dr Vanséveren, available on Hethitologie Portal Mainz at https://www.hethport.uni-wuerzburg.de/cuneifont/.
