Tyndale Tech on Greek and Hebrew Fonts
Posted on Tuesday, April 17, 2007 at 6:02 PM by Jason Barker
David Instone-Brewer, whose Tyndale Tech newsletter I've mentioned before, has sent out a new edition focusing on computer fonts for biblical studies. He briefly discusses a number of fonts and options for word processors that enable PC and Mac users to read and write about biblical texts, and gives special attention to the problems with Hebrew fonts faced by Mac users (he recommends using NeoOffice for writing Hebrew).
Of particular note is Instone-Brewer's discussion of Unicode fonts; this is important because Unicode is becoming the global standard for computer text creation and display.
Tyndale House has a page with Greek and Hebrew fonts that can be downloaded, as well as texts with which these fonts can be used.
The current edition of Tyndale Tech is not available online, but I would be happy to forward a copy to you. You can reach me via email or IM using the contact information in the left sidebar.
