% \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 and the package is in later sections.
%
% \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{nabatean} package} \label{sec:usc}
%
%    The \thisfont{} script is a descendant of the Aramaic script,
% which in turn descended from the Phoenician script, and is a predecessor
% of the modern Arabian script. It was used between approximately the
% fourth centuries~\BC{} and~\AD. The version presented is roughly
% typical of the frst century~\AD.
%
%    The alphabet consisted of 22 characters.
%    Table~\ref{tab} lists, in the \thisfont{} alphabetical order, the
% transliterated value of the characters and, where I know it, the
% modern name of the character.

%
% \DescribeMacro{\nabfamily}
%    This command selects the \thisfont{} font family. The family name is |nab|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\textnab}
% The command |\textnab{|\meta{text}|}| typesets \meta{text} in the
% \thisfont{} font.
%
%
%    I have provided three ways of accessing the \thisfont{} glyphs: 
% (a) by ASCII characters,
% (b) by commands whose names are based on the transliterated values, and
% (c) by commands whose names are based on the (modern) name of the
%     character.
% These are shown in Table~\ref{tab}.
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\translitnab}
% The command |\translitnab{|\meta{commands}|}| will typeset the
% transliteration of the \thisfont{} character commands (those in the
% last two columns of Table~\ref{tab}).
%
% \DescribeMacro{\translitnabfont}
%   The font used for the transliteration is defined by this macro,
% which is initialsed to an italic font (i.e., |\itshape|).
