[QUOTE="Gil-galad, post: 3175193, member: 44154"][url]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ancientwhitesheet/index.html[/url] I started working on my website in May 2014, but didn't figure out a layout I liked for the content until July 2017, last year. Since last July I've made a lot of progress but is still early on for this website as far as content is concerned. So far, I have a topics page which has new dry cleaning methods using a electric duster, also is compatible with nearly all older techniques as well. Several general topics and site related topics. My ancient coin link page has been greatly expanded and with a new section for ancient languages. These links are information about ancient language scripts found on coins. Until I make a guide, these links will help learn and be able to display these ancient scripts on your computer. Last but not least is my Ancient Coin Visual Keyboard which supports the following ancient scripts. Greek, Latin, Phoenician, Russian, Armenian, Arabic, Aramaic, Syriac, Kharosthi, Nabataean, Ancient South Arabian, Lycian, Lydian, Carian, Cypriote. AC-VK serves as a visual aid to read coins with scripts other than Latin types. It's simple. You look at the coin and if you can read the letters, you click the buttons which displays the text in a box. There are two functions, COPY and CLEAR. If you click COPY it will copy to clip board and have a preview window so you can review what you typed. After that, you can paste the text which is in the clipboard to another program such as a word processor or even a web browser. A lot of these ancient scripts have not been supported, so don't expect all characters to show up. I am using unicode and you can switch fonts in your browser or word processor.
