| “Thompson” Fonts | A set of Mayan glyph fonts for either Macintosh or Windows, more than 1200+ glyphs. These are superior to other fonts available because they provide automatic combinations of main glyphs with prefix, superfix, postfix, and subfix forms, and even some multiple stacking and automatic change of affixal arrangements simply by changing fonts. Discounted price $60 to those who can provide proof of purchase of the Bonneville Electronics fonts, because of royalty owed to them for some of the designs, but there is no comparison in the manner in which these glyph fonts are used. | $90 |
| Mayan day and month fonts | These are free by email (or will be downloadable from this site at a future time), courtesy of Linda Schele, Nora England, and Ecological Linguistics. Email with specification of Macintosh or Windows. Your email address must be on the same platform on which you expect to use the fonts. | free |
