    I think that's greatly overstated. Budge published lots of material in
    Egyptian hieroglyphics, I've scanned one book with cuneiform, and a
    few books with several lines in Gothic. I personally don't find the
    concerns of the academics interesting; to accurately transcribe those
    texts, I do need those scripts encoded.
