Supporting notes
on hebrew and greek fonts


Dr. Wojciech Kosek

Dear Reader!

The usefulness of the information presented below is somewhat historical, at least when it comes to applying it to reading articles published on my Internet site. Why? The reason is that I have changed all Greek and Hebrew letters, represented by fonts from BibleWorks 6.0. until now, to be represented by fonts in Unicode standard, which gives the full possibility of proper representation of Greek and Hebrew letters on computers, smartphones, etc.
I am leaving this page, however – maybe it will be helpful to someone after all.
Here is the content of these, now somewhat historic, comments and helps:

Dear Reader!

If on Your computer there are not installed the Bwgrkl and Bwhebb fonts then the Greek and Hebrew words are displayed incorrectly.

Instead of such view:

The example image with the correctly installed Greek and Hebrew fonts

the following view will be seen:

hm'y>r"c.mi~yaiB'h; laer"f.yI ynEB. tAmv. hL,aew>  WTTWj 1:1
WaB' AtybeW vyai bqo[]y: tae

If You see the below text

hm'y>r"c.mi ~yaiB'h; laer"f.yI ynEB. tAmv. hL,aew>  WTTWj 1:1
WaB' AtybeW vyai bqo[]y: tae

BGT Wj 1:1 tau/ta ta. ovno,mata tw/n ui`w/n Israhl tw/n
eivspeporeume,nwn eivj Ai;gupton a[ma Iakwb tw/|
patri. auvtw/n e[kastoj panoiki,a| auvtw/n
eivsh,lqosan

as the second one from above, it’s worth to correct this defect.

To do this, You are asked to install the two fonts, having downloaded them Previously (they are offered without payment by the producer of the BibleWorks program) from the site:

http://www.bibleworks.com/ download.html

If You are not an expert in the installation of fonts, I will tell You how to do it one by one:

1. Download the fonts on Your desktop from this site:

http://www.bibleworks.com/ download.html

from the place: Free Greek and Hebrew Fonts (just below the beginning of this site)

2. Open the folder named Fonts in the Control Panel on Your computer.
You will see this (or similar) view of fonts on Your computer:

The example of the appearance of the folder Fonts in Windows XP

3. Reduce the window of this folder so that You can see this part of the desktop on which there are downloaded fonts!

NOTE: here I give an easy way to open the Fonts folder:

Click:

4. Drag the downloaded “font pictures” The Bwhebb font and The Bwgrkl fontfrom the desktop to this folder (i.e., move the mouse to place the cursor on the “font picture” of the selected font, press the left mouse button and, keeping it pressed, move the mouse so that this image is moving toward the folder “Fonts”. When the image is somewhere within the folder “Fonts” then release the left mouse button). The same do for each “font picture”.

5. After completing this simple step, You will see the Hebrew and Greek text correctly:

hm'y>r"c.mi ~yaiB'h; laer"f.yI ynEB. tAmv. hL,aew>  WTTWj 1:1
WaB' AtybeW vyai bqo[]y: tae

BGT Wj 1:1 tau/ta ta. ovno,mata tw/n ui`w/n Israhl tw/n
eivspeporeume,nwn eivj Ai;gupton a[ma Iakwb tw/|
patri. auvtw/n e[kastoj panoiki,a| auvtw/n
eivsh,lqosan

Have You succeed? Good luck!
