#Enable hebrew fonts windows free

I suspect there's more than that.В There's also the many free fonts from the Greek Font Society, of course.

David Hadash BiblicalВ (also Formal, Sans and Script).

Other fonts you should whitelist definitely include Cardo (Greek and Hebrew).Д«ut there are dozens of other fonts that support Polytonic Greek (TypeKit lists 52 families), which you could certainly whitelist. Again, cheaper to use my script.I presume by whitelisting, you're talking about allowing us to choose fonts we have installed, rather than bundling additional fonts. Or they just want the leyning at the back of a siddur and the shema. They dont want to pay to have the font hard-coded with teamim for that. Personally I prefer the hard coding approach since Im doing many things in the font, but many clients are setting something small, like Megillat Esther on a one-time basis. If you are creating one Bible in one font then why go for the extra expense of hard coding it. The issue really is what are you doing with the font. Of course the advantage of the font is that if somebody buys Koren then the teamim will automatically sit according to the Koren system (which of course can be seen as a disadvantage) since the positioning is hard coded in, however, if I put it into a script then the positioning is in the InDesign file. In fact, I have more options with my script because I can search for a longer sequence of characters and adjust each one accordingly, something that is very tedious to do in the font. If I tell my script to move the kamatz 20 to the right or tell my programmer to move the kamatz 20 to the right, there is no difference.

Trust me there is no difference if one is careful. We have a team of rabbinical grammarians doing this for the new Koren Siddur for the USA, where the siddur has kamatz katan, shva na and metegs throughout the siddur. For example, using Israeli pronunciation, do you say tzahorayim (according to Sefardi masora) or tzohorayim (according to ashkenazi masora) again when I say ashkenazi masora, that means Shabbat and Chochma, but it means that the first kamatz becomes a kamatz katan.ДЄlso, within tefilla, different parts of tefilla follow different rules, some parts follow the grammatical rules of the tanakh, some follow that of the rishonim and some follow that of modern hebrew. Well thats a little more complicated because there are many different opinions. and thereby encourage children to learn these important grammatical rules.

>In fact, I believe eventually if I had Rabbi Farkash of Yerushalayim in a database, the font would automatically switch shva nas to shva plus the appropriate symbol above, and kometz to komatz gadol etc. When you say automatically, what do you mean? Do you mean that the font can examine to see the shape of the nikud and team and then adjust accordingly, or do you have to tell it all the combinations? >John is working on a way to automatically rearrange nikkud taam and/or meteg in the font. Probably not.ДЄnyway, Koren is a shomer shabbat religious company, so dont worry, you dont need to burn our siddurim and chumashim (unless you dont like the mizrachi component). I wonder that happened when they printed Bibles in the past. At the end of the day on Thursday, he would collect all the work from every employee and take it home, only to return it on Sunday morning, lest anybody should accidentally come to work on Shabbat and work on the Koren Tanakh. In Israel Friday isnt a workday and we work Sunday instead. I know that Mr Koren was famous for his Thursday evening tactic. I have a problem in shul when davening and following the leyning because of course its all in the Koren font (our shul only allows Koren Chumashim and siddurim) and of course Im there going, oy, the mercha should have been put lower (yes, Im serious). I think Artscroll must obviously follow the same principle.

I have follow the principle of assuming that if he did any averos in the past, he has done tshuva now. I only know what he has done for me and I know that he didnt work on Shabbat in the creation of the Koren font. Look I dont know what Zvika did in the past nor do I know if his computers date was correct when he created fonts in the past.
