major new releases. The next release will be a complete set of
Windows bitmap fonts for Windows and the Mac so that the text is
more readable on the screen when using 8 to 14 point type. The cost

File Descriptions
GRK0____.PFB - This greek font resembles NA26. It is of moderate
GRK0____.PFM weight, as is NA26, and has all accent combinations.
GRK0____.TTF This font is copyrighted.
(part 1 of 2)
HBR0____.PFB - This Hebrew font resembles the typestyle in BHS. It
HBR0____.PFM contains all the vowels and vowel/accent combinations
HBR0____.TTF for normal width letters. The letters all space
automatically. If you are not interested in accents
you should use this font.
(part 2 of 2)
HBR1____.PFB - This is the second part of HBR0____ as there are too many
HBR1____.PFM characters to fit in one font. This is identical to HBR0
HBR1____.TTF except all vowel and vowel/accent combinations are for
half width letters.
GRK_____.PFB - Public domain greek font. This is fairly light in
GRK_____.PFM weight, and resembles a symbol type font. Feel free
to give copies of this to anyone who wants it.
HBR_____.PFB - Public domain hebrew font. This font resembles the
HBR_____.PFM typestyle in BHS. It contains all vowels and accent
combinations. You must manually space after each
character (read the HBR.WRI file)
NOTE:
The files ending in .PFB and .PFM are the Adobe Type 1 fonts.
The files ending in .TTF are Windows 3.1 True Type fonts.
If you use HBR0 and HBR1 True type fonts, there is a problem with the
screen display. For example, if you type "he" with HBR0, switch to
HBR1 and type "segol" and then "nun" and then switch back to HBR0 again,
the segol will not appear on the screen, yet prints fine. The problem is
that Windows does not overstrike two different fonts over top of each other
very well. A solution is to be a aware when a half width letter is the
next character and switch to HBR1 one character before the half width
character (typing from left to right). For example, using the above
illustration, switch to HBR1 before you type the "he" then type in
"segol" and "nun." This is a bit of a pain, but when the automatic
text retrieval tools are done, then you won't have to bother with this
at all. The HBR0 and HBR1 Adobe fonts do not have this problem, just
the HBR0 and HBR1 TrueType fonts.
*Fonts in Adobe and TrueType format are copyrightable because they are
