Here's a closer look at each of the "ranges" of glyphs. Below, for reference are the three big "tables" of all of the glyphs in glyph number order, divided into ranges. They're illegible (use the interactive VARKON version for legibility), but useful if you already have a feeling for the glyphs (which is what they are intended to give, which is a Catch-22). Go to any of the "Range" chapters listed in the Contents, above, for illustrations of the ranges themselves. Use the interactive VARKON version to see the "boxed" versions (or read the glyph data annotations) for further information about individual glyphs.
Note that the right-pointing hand is part of the same range (185) as the other pointing hands. They're just so large that their range takes up twice the space of a normal range.
The Hershey glyphs produced and distributed by Dr. Hershey are clearly in the public domain. The glyphs produced by others and distributed with the GNU Plotutils are, to the best of my understanding, also in the public domain. The glyph data as transformed and used here by me remain in the public domain as well.
