Font Sample Page
(If your browser does
not
display some of the Greek letters on this page, I discuss Unicode
issues on this
page.)
On
this page I am mainly concerned with Unicode fonts for Hebrew, Greek,
Phonetics, and the symbols in the apparatus of the Nestle-Aland 27th
edition
New Testament. I
consider the first 4
fonts listed here to be must-have fonts for any Biblical student or
scholar. And they
are all free of charge.
Free
download.
Available for Windows,
Mac
intosh,
and Linux.
Serif, upright. Compact text. The Latin/English
text looks good,
and it has all the International Phonetic Alphabet glyphs except for
the 5 tone
bars. It also works
for the Unicode
superscript numeral glyphs, and for Hebrew and Greek transliteration. The Macintosh link given
above is the font
in the older format that will work for both OS9 and OSX. Mac OSX will also use the
Windows
version. Some
versions of Linux will
use the Windows link, but some need the Debian package from the Linux
link.

Available for Windows,
Mac OSX, and Linux.
Serif, upright. This is especially designed for the
International
Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). As you can see, it is a very nice
looking
English font, and also very good for the Unicode superscript
numerals.
In addition, it contains all the symbols in the NA27 Greek footnote
apparatus. Excellent
for Hebrew and Greek
transliteration.

Serif, upright. This is the clearest Hebrew font by
far. It has a companion font that comes with it,
called Ezra SIL, but I feel the cantillation marks with that variant
are not as
clear as this one. The Latin / English type with is is good
too, as you
can see here.

documents.
2,881 glyphs. A very nice looking Greek font when printed
out. It also has all the Hebrew glyphs including
cantillation and diacritics, and all the IPA glyphs. Good for
Hebrew and
Greek transliteration. The Latin /
English appearance I don't like so much.

Free download. For
Windows, but can probably be made to work in Mac OSX.
There is not a lare selection of free Unicode Coptic fonts. The trait about this I
don't like is that it
uses up so much space above and below the lines.

Palatino
Linotype
This font comes free
with Windows 2000 and XP, and also with Office 2003. It is
one of the
clearest English fonts I have ever seen, and definitely the clearest
font for
the superscript numerals. It contains
the full Unicode polytonic Greek glyph repertoire, though the accents,
breathing marks, and subcripts are a little too small for my
liking. This font can be purchased from other
sources, such as

Arial Unicode MS
This comes free with
Windows. This is probably the largest font in existence, in
that it has
the glyphs for more languages than any other font out there.
But it is sans-serif, which I do not like.
