Coptic, at least, is solely LTR.  It is essentially Greek (indeed Unicode
currently unifies Coptic and Greek) with some extra letters.  It is not,
considered as a *script* only, related to hieroglyphic/hieratic at all.

(There is a proposal on the table to disunify Coptic and Greek, on the
grounds that Coptic is illegible when represented in a normal Greek
font --- indeed, even a Cyrillic font works better!)
