Now you can type
right to left
accented Hebrew with proper line wrap, full justification, and automatic
positioning of vowel points and accents/cantillation marks as you type.
Get
the only fonts available today which reproduce all forms, properly
positioned, that occur in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia/Leningrad
Codex! LaserHebrew® in Unicode™
is available in five typestyles. The fonts are high-quality, Unicode-encoded Hebrew fonts in TrueType® format
for Biblical and modern Hebrew and Yiddish.
Four of the typestyles (NewJerusalemU,
MoriahU,
RamahU,
ShilohU) contain
all vowel points, accents, dageshim, and diacritical marks occurring in the
Biblia
Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS), plus other diacritical symbols and the
additional characters needed for Yiddish. Here is a sample of the
NewJerusalemU font.
Each font has a corresponding
font (NewJerusalemCU,
MoriahCU,
RamahCU,
ShilohCU) that contains cantillation
forms commonly used in Hebrew publications. This sample shows the alternate
cantillation marks in the NewJerusalemCU font.
The NewJerusalemU product set includes a third font,
NewJerusalemLU, which is the same as
NewJerusalemU, except it contains a "U-shaped" yerah ben yomo, the form used
in the Leningrad Codex.
The final font,
ScriptHebrewU, is
consonantal only, but contains vowels for Yiddish. All of these Hebrew
fonts also include the Latin 1 and Extended Latin
character sets providing English and other western languages such as
French and German, and they support the modern Hebrew code page 1255.
Users can
now type right to left with proper line wrap and full justification of the
Hebrew text. The
fonts include OpenType™ layout features that provide automatic positioning
of the vowel points and accents/cantillation marks as you type. The
user may switch back and forth between Hebrew, English, and the other
supported languages simply by toggling between the included Hebrew and
English software keyboard resources (keyboard drivers).
When you select the Hebrew keyboard, input will automatically be right to
left. When you select the English keyboard, the input direction will
automatically change to left to right. Users may combine Hebrew with text
from any other language supported by your computer's Operating System. All
this can be done with your regular physical keyboard; you do not need to buy
a special keyboard to use LaserHebrew in Unicode fonts.
The LaserHebrew in Unicode fonts are distinctive in that
they include all of the
vowel
points, accents, cantillation marks, and other diacritics occurring in the Biblia
Hebraica Stuttgartensia. As far as we know, no other font
supports ALL characters and diacritics found in the BHS, and is able to
properly position the diacritics as they are found in the published text of
the BHS. Here are some of the special forms used in the Hebrew Scriptures.
.
LaserHebrew in Unicode fonts even support the
rarely used multi-vowel/accent combinations necessary to type the Ten
Commandments.
The Unicode-encoding of these fonts means the Windows and
Macintosh fonts are completely compatible. Documents may be freely exchanged
between Windows and Macintosh users, with no conversion or special handling
necessary, as long as the fonts are installed and each user has a compatible
application. (Please be sure you understand the System Requirements for
Windows and
Macintosh before you order.)

The first Hebrew font shown below, NewJerusalemU, closely matches the shapes and weights of the
characters and accents in the Biblia Hebraica
Stuttgartensia Hebrew Scriptures/Tanach. This beautiful font is being used to produce
the new Oxford Hebrew Bible, and is the perfect font
for reproducing the Hebrew Scriptures. The second font included in the
product, NewJerusalemCU, is like NewJerusalemU, but has
cantillation forms commonly used in Hebrew publications. The third
font included in the product, NewJerusalemLU, is like NewJerusalemU,
except it contains a "U-shaped" yerah ben yomo, the form used in the

LaserHebrew in Unicode for Windows
LaserHebrew in Unicode for Windows provides high-quality, Unicode-encoded Hebrew fonts (described
above) in TrueType® format for Biblical and modern Hebrew and Yiddish,
for typing right to left with proper line wrap and full justification. The
fonts include OpenType layout features that provide automatic positioning
of vowel points and accents/cantillation marks as you type, and the fonts make use of
the OpenType shaping engine (Uniscribe) built into Windows Vista,
Windows XP and
Windows 2000. LaserHebrew in Unicode
for Windows includes four keyboard layouts that provide four-characters-per-key input
(instead of the normal two) in Windows Vista, XP and 2000.
|
The HebrewLS keyboard layout is for Hebrew, providing
phonetic input with easy, intuitive access to all Hebrew vowels,
accents and cantillation marks, and special Yiddish characters. This
layout allows the user to type in regular Hebrew order, that is,
consonant, vowel, accent. Double vowels and accents used in the Hebrew
Scriptures are also supported. Gothic letters (representing manuscripts and
texts related to the Hebrew Scriptures), Greek letters (used to
identify versions of the Hebrew Bible), and punctuation, are all
supported by this keyboard. |
|
The HebrewLS Israeli keyboard layout follows the general
layout of the Microsoft Hebrew keyboard, with the addition of vowels.
It also covers Yiddish. This layout will be familiar to users of
Hebrew Windows. Like the Microsoft layout, it does not support accents
or cantillation marks. |
|
The EnglishLS OT keyboard layout allows the user to type
English and other western Latin-based languages easily, taking
advantage of the OpenType features in the font. The typing order is
letter-accent; the keyboard driver automatically positions the accent as
it is typed. It allows the user to
toggle from one of the HebrewLS keyboards into the EnglishLS OT keyboard
and type English, French, German, Spanish, etc., without changing
fonts. The EnglishLS OT keyboard is supported by the same applications
that support the HebrewLS keyboard. |
|
The EnglishLS keyboard layout allows the user to type
English and other western Latin-based languages easily, using dead key
input. The user types a dead key representing the accent, and nothing
appears to happen on screen. Then the user types the letter to be
accented and the keyboard driver places the accented letter in the
document. It allows the user to
toggle from one of the HebrewLS keyboards into the EnglishLS keyboard
and type English, French, German, Spanish, etc., without changing
fonts. The EnglishLS keyboard is supported by any Unicode-compatible
application. |

Here's what others are saying about LaserHebrew in Unicode:
"The NewJerusalemU font is my favourite Hebrew font [and for Greek]
LaserGreek OdysseaU is most beautiful of all!"
Dr. Jean Urban Andres, SatzWeise, Germany
"Your fonts are the best!"
Bruce W. Neely, Alexandria, VA
"Thank you for your beautiful fonts. You can of course quote my words: that's
the truth!"
Jean Lathion, Collonge-Bellerive, Switzerland
"Thank you very much for your splendid array of products for Hebrew Bible
and transliteration."
Prof. Walter Houston, Mansfield College, Oxford University
"Thanks so
much! Your fonts, and your work in the texts of the Scripture, is excellent.
Thank you so much for both."
Albert Hembd, Trinitarian Bible Society, Plano, TX
The LaserHebrew in Unicode
fonts that I've been using for a while now are working wonderfully."
Daniel Rodriguez, Houston Baptist University, Houston, Texas
"Thank you for the amazing work you do. This program is very
good. I really like your Hebrew keyboard. Thank you for the incredible
contribution you have made to the Lord's work."
Stephen Miller, Southhaven, Mississippi
"Thanks so much! Your fonts, and your work in the
texts of the Scripture, is
excellent. Thank you so much for both."
Albert Hembd, Trinitarian Bible Society, Plano, TX
"Your fonts are beautiful. I think what
Linguist's Software has done is beyond superlatives. This is your merit. You can
quote me on this. I really mean it 1000%. What you have done is historical, and
you should be proud of it. After 120 years, you could point your finger at that
among other things."
Rabbi Israel Seldowitz, President, GoHebrew and TalmudWorld
"In 2005 I purchased the Hebrew Scriptures in
Unicode with the LaserHebrew in Unicode fonts from you. I must say that I am
very impressed. You have saved me hours of time every week in typing the
Scriptures for exegesis and what joy I had lost is back again. I am so thankful
to God for Linguist's Software, Dr. Payne and his staff. You even made it
possible for me to read my UBS in the font I grew up with! Foolish of me, I
suppose, but there is some comfort in that and it speeds up my recognition of
things. In the Mellel processor you sold me I can easily alternate between
English, Latin, Greek, Hebrew and German. Now my study materials and papers look
like I had hoped they would. And I see that, if I should like a font that works
well with whatever English fonts I have, that you are making those available
too. Just excellent! You restore font-work to the eye-aiding practical art it
should be. Thank you again. Gott bei Ihnen!"
Rev. Bradley E. Ragner, BA, MDiv., Pastor Messiah Ev. Lutheran Church
Shiocton, Wisconsin, USA
"Vowel points and cantillation marks/ tropes
show perfectly in the NewJerusalemU font. I have compared seven fonts I'm
testing, using the first verses from Genesis (text from Mechon-Mamre). Only two
show all accents, vowels, brackets, etc. correctly. Of these NewJerusalemU is
the best. Aesthetically speaking, I also prefer the feeling of balance it
offers, and the relationship in size of diacritics to consonants (closer to the
consonant, thinner and undistracting, yet clear). NewJerusalemU does look
beautiful....Your LaserHebrew in Unicode font works beautifully, placing accents
and cantillation marks as fitting. It is easy on a Mac to use your fonts with
both Mellel and XeteX. All the best!"
Professor Gildas Hamel, University of California at Santa Cruz
"I received the Hebrew software (fonts and
BHS texts) yesterday and everything works very well. The ability to switch
seamlessly between the two languages is wonderful!"
John Nathan Clayton
"We have used Linguist's Software fonts
for several years, including your Greek and Hebrew fonts as well as your
Semitic Transliterator. We have been pleased with the quality and
functionality. I am impressed with the new Unicode versions of the fonts and
I enjoy the added features. I am very pleased with it. Thank you!"
Jacob Rawlins, Production Coordinator,
Institute for the Study and Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts, BYU,
Provo, UT
"Thank you very much. I received all the
files and everything works very fine. I have great pleasure with your
products, the Hebrew BIBLE-Text and LaserHebrew in Unicode. Again I want to
thank you for all your service and help. May GOD bless you and your work and
products, because they gave me new inspiration and joy in reading and
writing HIS HOLY SCRIPTURES. SHALOM"
Christoph Metz, Cölbe, Germany
"I want to compliment Linguist's Software on its Installation
Manual and User's Manual. They are by far the best written and the easiest to
understand of any software manuals I've seen in over 10 years."
HB, Albuquerque, NM
"Everything is working fine."
Professor Nathan Jastram, Concordia University Wisconsin
