Two professional-quality fonts, one Greek and one Hebrew, which will allow
students of these languages working on a limited budget to produce high quality
printed output. Both of these fonts are provided in TrueType® and PostScript®
Type 1 language font formats.
Graeca II plain is the regular text font used
to publish the UBS 4th edition revised Greek New Testament and includes all 35 accents, breathing marks, iota
subscripts, and diereses needed to type classical and Biblical Greek. These may be typed
over any symbol in any combination. This font also includes the Nestle-Aland, UBS, Leiden,
and TLG text-critical symbols and sigla as well as the Roman alphabet and French and
German accents. The font is especially valuable for those working with the Greek
New Testament (which is formatted in SymbolGreekII, an identically-encoded
font that is part of LaserGreek), allowing you to cut and paste
portions of the text into your document. The Windows and Macintosh versions of
the fonts are ASCII-compatible with each other and
with the fonts in LaserGreek and LaserGreek II, allowing easy file conversion between
users of these other fonts, on both Windows and Macintosh platforms.
Hebraica II plain is a standard classical-style square Hebrew font and
contains all vowel points
and accents occurring in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (Tanach/OT).
It has been licensed to produce the Biblia Hebraica Quinta, the Oxford
Hebrew Bible Project, and the Dead Sea Scrolls Project. Automatic overstriking vowel points, accents, cantillation marks, and diacritical symbols
are able to be placed over any letter in any combination. Hebraica II is an English system, left-to-right
font, excellent for those needing
to input Hebrew words or short phrases into an English (or other language) document. The
font is especially valuable for those working with the Hebrew
Scriptures (which are formatted in Hebraica II), allowing you to cut and paste
portions of the text into your document. The Windows and Macintosh versions of
the fonts are ASCII-compatible with each other and
with the fonts in LaserHebrew and LaserHebrew II, allowing easy file conversion between
users of these other fonts, on both
Windows and Macintosh platforms.
This product is a subset of the LaserGreek and LaserHebrew
products and contains only one of the fonts, in plain style only, from
each of these two products.
Graeca II & Hebraica II for Windows
Easily type classical and Biblical Greek with all accents and breathing marks using a
logical, phonetic keyboard input. For example, type alpha on the 'a' key and add the
smooth breathing by typing the 'j' key. The breathing mark is automatically placed over
the previously-typed alpha. (This layout has become
a de facto standard among classical and Biblical Greek scholars.)
Easily type modern and Biblical Hebrew (including all vowels and cantillation marks) using logical keyboard input.
System Requirements: The TrueType® fonts install into Microsoft® Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, or NT, and work with all Windows
7-, Vista-, XP-, 2000-, and NT-compatible
applications that allow the user to select fonts from a font menu. (A previous version
is available for Windows Me, 98, or 95.) The product includes
a User's Manual and keyboard layout chart(s). The included keyboard driver(s) allows access to
four characters per key (instead of the normal two) and alternate keyboard
layouts. All documentation is in PDF format, available on the Windows Start
menu, and can be viewed and/or printed using
Adobe Reader. The fonts will print to any printer at
the highest quality allowed by your printer.
A custom version (fonts only) is available
for Linux,
but Linux users must provide alternate keyboard input for characters in the
extended character set. If you are ordering for Linux be sure to select the
Linux box on the Order Form.
All documentation is in Adobe PDF format, and is
installed to the Windows Start menu for easy viewing and/or printing.

Here's what others are saying about our Greek and Hebrew
fonts:
Graeca II & Hebraica II:
"I just want everyone at Linguist's Software to know
how extremely pleased I was with the assistance and guidance I received in
completing the setting up of my Hebraica and Graeca. Thanks to all of you
for your product."
Professor James Barr, Claremont Graduate School
"Thank you, and may the Lord bless you and your staff
as you labor in His kingdom...spreading the Word of God, as well as
drawing interest for believers to study the original languages. I do plan
to order other materials from you. Again, thank you. I'm glad you guys are
around."
Ron Mays Sr., Paradise, CA
"I still can't thank you enough for your pleasant assistance, both through
email, and especially over the phone. I am so excited about and greatly,
truly, appreciate and love [your] software of the Word of God for both the
Old and New Testaments!!! Thank you very much!!! The Kingdom of God has once
again advanced in my life, and for the benefit of others as well, through
these great, powerful, and indispensable tools!!! Again, thank you very
much. God bless you and all of yours."
Javier Hernandez, Pasadena, California
Greek:
"Superb ... elegantly intelligent while easy to use. Bravo!
[I am] utterly delighted ... vastly superior to any mode of entering Greek I
have previously tried (nearly everything possible: Lettrix, Turbofonts, Ibycus,
Nota Bene, WordPerfect, etc)."
Prof. John Boswell (deceased), Yale University
"your Greek fonts are really perfect"
Nikolaos Trunte, Bonn, Germany
"I'm not retained by Linguist's Software (and certainly not by
GreekKeys, a cumbersome system that drove me nearly insane when I tried it); but
I would like to say, and not for the first time, that for me LaserGreek, in its
successive editions, is so far superior to every other Greek font system, in
every way, that I can't imagine why it hasn't swept the market. Minimal changes
to the American keyboard, and those supremely rational. The virtual abolition of
all cumbersome "grouping". Accents, breathings, &c. independent
and postpositive. Easy switching between fonts. The sum is that I can type
LaserGreek just as fast as Roman--and could do so only a week after
installation. What other system can offer that without requiring a large effort
of memorization followed by lengthy practice? The benefits were enormous ...
sigmas and correlation of platforms is wonderful. I'm both a classicist and a
professional author, and use LaserGreek all over the place, for books, articles,
editions, you name it."
Peter Green
Professor Emeritus of Classics, U. of Texas at Austin
Editor, Syllecta Classica
"Your encoding ... sensible key assignments and accent keys method is
better [than] GreekKeys. The font Odyssea looks really nice."
Helma Dik

installation of the Odyssea was successful. I appreciate the generally clear and
complete instructions in the book."
Robert W. Wright, Professor, Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
"Yeah! Your new program solved the big problem with
Cyrillic! Now I can use both Cyrillic and LaserGreek together. It works! Thank
you very much! Thanks a lot for the HellenicaExtras keyboard chart. It's very
helpful. Now I am convinced that your Greek fonts seem to be (nearly?)
perfect."
Ivo Gottwald, Leipzig, Germany
"I thank you for the professional effort that you personally and your
company offer to ancient and modern philology."

Hebrew:
"I am very pleased with your fonts. They are crisp, clean
and you have them loaded with all the pointing, cantillations, and diacritics
that the other fonts don't have. I am teaching Hebrew and use your fonts to
build my quizzes, tests, and exercises from Weingreen. I include the accents
when they are important to the understanding of the texts. Your
mapiq/dagesh/shuruq solution is quiet effective and elegant. You have a great
font."
Prof. Shawn Madden, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Your fonts are much more beautiful than [Microsoft's]
Windows 2000 fonts for Hebrew etc."
