A GUI script converter for ancient (Proto-)Indo-European languages based on pieoffice.

PIE-Office GUI: A GUI script converter for ancient (Proto-)Indo-European languages.

This application is a GUI version of my previous pieoffice for those who are more into normal applications. I hope it is easy to use in Windows and Mac platforms (I would be glad if someone tries and send me some feedback, please do so). I strongly suggest having the Noto font family installed in your system, covering all the wanted scripts, otherwise some signs might become a little bit funky. Nevertheless, if you copy and paste to a well setup working environment with the proper font support, it should work like a charm.

So far, the mappings cover:

• Proto-Indo-European
• Indic:
  • Vedic / Sanskrit:
    • Devanagari
    • IAST
• Iranic:
  • Avestan:
    • Script
    • Transliterated
  • Old Persian Cuneiform
• Celtic:
  • Ogham Script
• Italic:
  • Oscan Script
• Germanic:
  • Gothic Script
• Armenian Script
• Greek:
  • Polytonic Greek
  • Mycenaean Linear B Script
  • Cypriot Syllabary
• Anatolian:
  • Hieroglyphic Luwian
  • Lydian
  • Lycian
  • Carian

Installation

The easiest way so far is, if you have pip, to run:

pip install --user pieoffice_gui

And to upgrade:

pip install --upgrade pieoffice_gui

Usage

Simply run:

pieoffice_gui

And follow your intuition!

TODO

Some rules are poorly diagrammed and might be displayed awkwardly, I should find a way to render them correctly across multiples platforms.
