SBL Hebrew Font
SBL Hebrew Sample
In order to foster biblical scholarship, The Society of Biblical Literature has collaborated with many organizations and individuals to develop fonts for biblical scholars.
The SBL is currently developing a new series of high-quality fonts for digital and print use. Hebrew was the first in the series to be released and is available below. SBL Greek and Latin are in development.

The SBL fonts are designed for use in Unicode text environments using OpenType Layout, such as Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and Vista, and specific applications under Mac OS and Linux.

The SBL does not provide technical assistance to individual users, but does maintain a forum to exchange ideas, discuss issues, and recommend changes. To join the forum, visit groups.msn.com/SBLFonts/homepage.

SBL has an FAQ page with some common font difficuties. If you cannot find an answer there you can either post a question on the discussion group or e-mail sbl-support@tiro.ca

If you have issues downloading the font, e-mail techsupport@sbl-site.org

John Hudson of Tiro Typeworks is the font designer and developer.
