- 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.
