Dear Andrew,

I've created tables quickly and easily using Adobe Illustrator; I essentially trace scanned images from manuscripts (automatically or manually depending on the complexity of the character). The benefit of creating vector graphics is that they are easy to modify and reproduce in all sorts of software and application contexts (and are obviously much smaller in size than other types of image files).

Since Adobe is proprietary and costly, I've also looked at some free graphic design applications which are solid, though Illustrator is still my favorite.

Best,

Tyler

Dear list members,

I was wondering whether anyone has experience drawing up "script tables," representating the characters used either in a given document (say a manuscript or inscription) or in a collection of documents. I realize that a lot depends on whether the table will be printed or published online (e.g., the use of color images), but I'm interested in recommendations for producing suitable images. (I'm aware of the very useful charts, adapted from Bühler’s Indische Palaeographie, that Dániel Balogh posted on this list some time ago.)
