CAL fonts for PC users

To use these fonts:

A) Download them: Right Click on the following links and choose "save target" from the pop up menu.

B) Install them under Windows as you would any new font: i.e., go to Start-Settings-Control Panel-Fonts, and choose "install new fonts" from the File menu. Navigate to the directory where you saved the downloaded fonts and install them. You may use the installed fonts in any of your programs - but be sure to restart your browser after you have installed them.

Transliteration Font: CalSemitic

Jewish Aramaic Font: WebHebrew AD

Syriac Font: SPEdessa

NB: For text browsing in Hebrew, we strongly recommend the use of Netscape if using Windows 98/ME or Macintosh. IE 6 works failrly well under Windows 2000/NT and XP. For Syriac, IE is better on old MACs (using increased text size!); Safari or Netscape on OSX. Netscape is better for Syriac on a PC. If the text comes up unaligned, hit reload once to correct. We have also tested the "Opera" and "Firefox" browsers with success on the Windows platform.

SYRIAC UNICODE: Those fortunate to have an XP class computer or newer should avail themselves of the wonderful Syriac Unicode fonts of the "Meltho" system and choose the appropriate radio button on the text select screen. For access to Meltho visit: BethMardutho.org. Please pay attention to the user manual that comes with the fonts if you have problems. Currently Netscape 7.0 tends to interpret numerals as Arabic digits, while IE treats them correctly.

HEBREW UNICODE: Hebrew alphabet text-browsing is currently done using built-in Hebrew coding of your operating system (rather than using WebHebrew), so make sure you have Hebrew support loaded.
