See the bottom of the linked page for installation instructions and examples of the fonts. From the Open Siddur page:

To aid in the dissemination of free/libre Hebrew fonts, the Open Siddur Project now offers, gratis, a FONT PACK. Fifty-eight free/libre and open source licensed, Unicode Hebrew fonts, ready to install. Enjoy them. Share them. Learn from them. Modify them.

6 fonts supporting the full set of diacritical marks (vowels/nikkud and cantillation/ta'amim).
11 fonts supporting niqud (w/out ta'amim)
42 fonts (not intended for use with niqud)
1 font of dingbats
7 Non-Hebrew Open Source Unicode Fonts

They should work on a Mac or PC. If you already have a unicode Hebrew keyboard installed, you don't need to install the one that comes with the font pack. The fonts will work just fine with your current keyboard. I use Logos' keyboards.

SBL Hebrew font is also unicode compliant and available here; the font license is only slightly more restrictive. Tyndale House's Ezra SIL and Cardo fonts are nice as well (Cardo is especially nice for Greek). Tyndale House's fonts are included in the Open Siddur font pack, or you can download them here.

Keep in mind that some of these files download as compressed (zipped) folders. After the zipped folder has downloaded, you have to right click it and click 'extract all.' When the files are extracted, look for the actual font file (usually a .ttf file). Drag and drop that file into your system's font folder (usually labeled 'Fonts'). I added this folder to my 'Favorites' in Windows Explorer for easy access.

If you are a part of the SBTS community and want more information about how to type in Greek and Hebrew, contact the Center for Student Success about the upcoming 1-day workshop 'Word Processing for Biblical Studies.' It is currently scheduled for Friday, September 7, 1:00-3:00pm. It will be two hours long (1 hour, break, one hour), and those who attend will be split into two groups based on what operating system you use. I will be leading the workshop for the handful of you that use Windows computers; Jonathan Kiel will lead the workshop for Mac peeps. More info to come.

Unicode fonts are now becoming standard, and they are easy to use with the free Tyndale Unicode Font Kit.

Almost all word processors now support unicode - with the notable exceptions of Word Perfect on the PC and Word on the Mac before Word 2004. If you use Windows 98 or Mac OS 9 or earlier, you should use the legacy fonts.

The advantages of unicode are

  • All Unicode fonts are interchangeable
    - in theory at least; in practice you need a 'scholarly' Unicode font for Biblical languages.
  • Unicode fonts are loved by publishers
  • Documents with Unicode can go straight to the web
  • No need to make PDFs to make your fonts look right
    - though this is still the safest route if you aren't sure everyone has a Unicode font yet
  • PC and Macintosh Unicode is exactly the same
  • Unicode Hebrew works with true right-to-left formatting and wordwrap.

The Tyndale Unicode Font Kit includes

  • keyboards for easily typing Biblical Hebrew, Greek and Transliteration
  • simple look-alike and sound-alike key positions (see layouts)
  • instructions for customising the keyboards if you want to change the layout
  • the Cardo Unicode font by David Parry - an excellent font for Greek & Hebrew.
  • Hebrew includes vowel pointing and Masoretic punctuation
  • Greek includes breathing, accents and ancient forms
  • Transliteration is on the same keyboard as Greek
  • PC and Mac versions use the same keyboard layout
  • PC installer does all the hard work, with simple instructions for activation
  • any other scholarly Unicode font can be used instead or in conjunction
  • works perfectly with the Unicode Greek & Hebrew Bible Word docs (below)

Legacy fonts for older computers

The best fonts and utilities for both Mac and PC are sold by Linguist Software, though they are expensive. You may prefer the cheaper Greek and Hebrew utilities from Galaxie Software.

To convert older fonts, use the free BibleScript plug-in for Word from Galaxie. it converts common PC & Mac fonts to Galaxie Unicode, so you can then use Find & Replace with Font formatting to convert it to any other academic Unicode.

A wider range of fonts for both PC and Mac is available free from the Summer Institute of Linguistics. They have a very good Hebrew and Greek system, including a Right-to-Left editor but it only works with their Ezra font in a small window from which you copy and paste to other applications.

Perhaps the most useful fonts are the free SP Fonts which are available for Windows and Mac. These are not the most comprehensive but they are easy to use. They can be used on their own without a Keyboard program, or with the RTL (Right To Left) keyboard program (see below). Because these fonts are free, and they are exactly the same on a PC and a Mac, they can be sent to a publisher with your work and they are very suitable for use on a web site.

The Tyndale Greek & Hebrew font kit contains instructions and keyboard files which have been prepared at Tyndale House. It includes free SP fonts for Mac and PC, the Right-to-Left PC program, macros for Word 97 (it does not work with Word 2000+) and Keyboard files which make it very easy to type in Greek and Hebrew. For example:
To write type 'Gam'
(upper case inserts the dagesh, and final mem is used automatically when appropriate)
To write type 'eis'
(smooth breathing is inserted automatically, diphthongs are recognised and final sigma is used automatically when appropriate).
