longdesc The Cherokee script was designed in 1821 by Segwoya. The
longdesc alphabet is essentially syllabic, only 6 characters (a e i o s
longdesc u) correspond to Roman letters: the font encodes these to the
longdesc corresponding roman letter. The remaining 79 characters have
longdesc been arbitrarily encoded in the range 38-122; the cherokee
longdesc package provides commands that map each such syllable to the
longdesc appropriate character; for example, Segwoya himself would be
longdesc represented \Cse\Cgwo\Cya. The font is distributed as Metafont
longdesc source; it works very poorly in modern environments, and could
longdesc do with expert attention (if you are interested, please contact
longdesc the CTAN team for details).
