If you use JSesh, please register. Registering is free, and useful for everyone.

• JSesh is a complete and professionnaly usable hieroglyphic editor.
• JSesh texts can be copied and pasted into other softwares (as MS/Word or Openoffice). It is also possible to create pictures in various graphical formats (jpeg, png, pdf, svg, emf, macpict, etc...)
• It is is definitly allowed to use JSesh for publication. Mention of its use (in the same way one does mention fonts used in a book) would be nice, but is not an absolute requirement.
• JSesh is free: you can download and use it at no cost, and give copies of it.
• JSesh is opensource: its java code is freely available (under the LGPL license). For the user, it's definitly safer, as it means that, even if its present author was unable to work on it, other computer scientists might take on the development.
