So both fonts appear to differ in the order of applying the rules: Ezra SIL applies the rule only after (or if) the next, expected letter is typed/present/processed, whereas Times New Roman applies all rules (in this case) immediately. But just yod+holam makes no sense on its own, so Ezra SIL is expecting another letter just afterwards, and when I type this expected next letter, alef, Ezra SIL moves the holam to the left and both fonts end up giving the same correct result. There is a different behavior in Ezra compared to Times New Roman, which is exactly the same thing happening in the previous post when removing the last letter of לְנֹ֔חַ:Īs shown in the image, if I type yod then holam in Wordpad (without typing the alef for now), the holam appears just above yod in Ezra SIL (wrong for now) whereas the holam appears up left to yod in Times New Roman (already right). For some reason this issue does not come up with Arial, but does with Ezra SIL/Ezra SIL SR, with Shlomo and with SBL Hebrew, all widely used and standard fonts specialized for Classical Hebrew.ĮDIT: If it's any help, the standard keyboard layout to type all these letters and marks is Biblical Hebrew (Tiro). The exact same behavior happens while typing in Wordpad. So the normal, non-overlapping positioning rule is apparently dependent on the next letter being present, and Prince apparently does not apply that rule at all, whether the next letter is present or not. It seems to be an issue with some positioning rules applied after the symbols have been drawn on the letter, because for example with the third word of the image above לְנֹ֔חַ, the double dots and the single dot normally do not overlap (as in the image above, Chrome version), but if I edit the HTML file and remove the last letter of לְנֹ֔חַ, ie replace it with לְנֹ֔, then the double dots and single dot do overlap, exactly in the same way as in the image above, Prince version. The Shlomo fonts above are derived from and very similar to Ezra SIL. This page aims to help you install, configure, and use the biblical languages using either approach.Great, looking forward to this.

Try copying and pasting each of these verses into a plain text editor like Windows Notepad, and you should see the difference between the actual Greek characters used by Unicode and the masked English characters used by the BibleWorks font.

Here's why:

Many fonts support the full Unicode character set. Use Unicode to actually type Greek/Hebrew text alongside English.Use special fonts that display English letters as though they were Greek and Hebrew, such as the common fonts produced by BibleWorks: bwgrkl for Greek and bwhebb for Hebrew.To use Greek and Hebrew in your documents, you can now choose between two different approaches:
