Description

Replace wikihiero images with beautiful alternatives.

Replaces images that look like they are from wikihiero usage with higher quality alternatives.

Fonts provided are based on the tuxscribe glyphs found here: https://www.qsl.net/5/5b4az/, with some colour correction to better match historical usage, as well as the New Gardiner font found here: https://mjn.host.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/egyptian/fonts/newgardiner.html

The images are packaged inside of the extension, so there are no additional network overheads from using it.

63 of the images are not currently replaced, These remaining edge cases will be fixed in future releases.

This extension is based on work by Neoklis Kyriazis and modifies the results of work by Guillaume Blanchard, both of whom are thanked for their contributions towards the beautiful rendition of Ancient Egyptian writing.
