sizes="(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px" /></a></p> <h3></h3> <p><strong>Ezra SIL SR — a Different Style of Marking</strong><br /> The two Ezra SIL fonts are available to provide two different styles of cantillation marks. They were developed together, but there are some differences in how they display markings. This was done intentionally. The Ezra SIL font is supposed to render text identically to the printed BHS. The Ezra SIL SR font has a different style of cantillation marks which may be more familiar to users working with other editions.</p> <ol> <li>Beginning with v2.0, Ezra SIL SR ceased to combine SHIN DOT with a preceding HOLAM.</li> <li>With v2.0, Ezra SIL SR ceased to center U+0592 HEBREW ACCENT SEGOL above a consonant. SEGOL is placed to the left except in the rare medial instance, when it centers.</li> <li>Ezra SIL characters and markings follow the printed BHS as much as possible. Ezra SIL SR follows a different style of text.</li> <li>Ezra SIL differentiates vocalic <em>holam-waw</em> (U+05D5 U+05B9) from consonantal <em>waw-holam</em> (U+05D5 U+05BA) by displaying the <em>holam</em> slightly to the right for the former and slightly to the left for the latter. This is determined by the choice of code point for <em>holam</em>. Ezra SIL SR does not do this.</li> <li>With v2.0, Ezra SIL SR uses a diamond-shaped mark for the <em>puncta</em>, rather than a round dot.</li> <li>Ezra SIL shows <em>furtive patah</em> to the bottom right of the consonant, as in the printed BHS. Ezra SIL SR does not do this, but centers it, as for a normal patah.</li> </ol> <h3>Version 2.51 Feature List</h3> <ul> <li>Unicode 5.0 support of Hebrew and Latin-1 codepages</li> <li>Improved placement of extra-biblical punctuation, such as period and comma.</li> <li>Includes Latin-1 characters, but should not be used for solely Latin texts, since the punctuation is done in a Hebrew style.</li> <li>Works in any application that uses OpenType fonts.</li> <li>Follows the recommendations for character order and encoding determined by a group of font developers during discussions in May 2003. This does not follow canonical order. Texts which have been converted to NFC or NFD canonical order will not display correctly with these fonts.</li> <li>No transliteration fonts are provided. Any font with full Latin support should be adequate for Hebrew transliteration (see <a class="external" title="" href="https://software.sil.org/doulos">Doulos SIL</a>, <a class="external" title="" href="https://software.sil.org/charis/">Charis SIL</a>, or <a class="external" title="" href="https://software.sil.org/gentium/">Gentium</a> for an acceptable Unicode font for transliteration of Biblical Hebrew).</li> </ul> <h3>Data Conversion</h3> <p>If you have text files typed with the <strong>pre-Unicode SIL Ezra font</strong>, they will have to be converted to Unicode to use with this font. Mapping files are available for download below (after the font packages). These can be used with <a class="external" title="" href="https://software.sil.org/teckit/">TECkit</a> and/or <a class="external" title="" href="https://software.sil.org/silconverters/">SIL Converters</a>.</p> <h3>Keyboarding</h3> <p>Windows and Mac operating systems provide a Hebrew keyboard as part of the OS. However, those provide for modern Hebrew input, not Biblical Hebrew.</p> <p><a class="external" href="https://keyman.com/keyboards/sil_hebrew" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SIL Hebrew</a> is a Keyman keyboard useable on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Be sure <a class="external" title="" href="https://keyman.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Keyman</a> is installed before installing the keyboard.</p> <p>Windows only: An Israeli keyboard layout (using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator) is available from the <a class="external" title="" href="https://www.sbl-site.org/educational/BiblicalFonts_SBLHebrew.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Society of Biblical Literature</a>. They also offer an MSKLC keyboard which closely follows the SIL Keyman layout.</p> <h3>Transliteration Resources</h3> <h4>Data Conversion</h4> <p>If you have text files typed with the <strong>pre-Unicode SIL Heb Trans</strong> fonts, they will have to be converted to Unicode. TECkit mapping files for <strong>SIL Heb Trans</strong> fonts are available <a href="https://github.com/silnrsi/wsresources/tree/master/scripts/Latn/legacy/sil-heb-trans/mappings" title="" class="external" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> and can be used with <a class="external" title="" href="https://software.sil.org/teckit/">TECkit</a> and/or <a class="external" title="" href="https://software.sil.org/silconverters/">SIL Converters</a>.
