The +alphabet is essentially syllabic, only 6 characters (a e i o s +u) correspond to Roman letters: the font encodes these to the +corresponding roman letter. The remaining 79 characters have +been arbitrarily encoded in the range 38-122; the cherokee +package provides commands that map each such syllable to the +appropriate character; for example, Segwoya himself would be +represented \Cse\Cgwo\Cya. The font is distributed as Metafont +source; it works very poorly in modern environments, and could +do with expert attention (if you are interested, please contact +the CTAN team for details). |
