Welcome to LaserPaleo-Hebrew for Windows and Macintosh. This exciting product provides ten professional-quality TrueType® and Type 1 (PostScript® format) Paleo-Hebrew fonts for typing ancient Hebrew character shapes. Included in LaserPaleo-Hebrew are fonts representing the character shapes of the inscriptions found in level VI of the Arad excavations, the Gezer inscription, the Samaritan inscriptions, the Zakkur inscriptions, and the inscription in the Siloam tunnel. There is a font matching the style of the character shapes of the Lachish letters written on potsherds, and there are three fonts with the style of Old Phoenician. Finally, while not Hebrew, included is a related font matching the style of the character shapes of Imperial Aramaic.

This font collection is easy to use because the fonts are arranged phonetically, following the US keyboard as closely as possible. Also, the font layouts are compatible with the LaserHebrew® and LaserHebrew II fonts. Keyboard layout charts (for Windows or Macintosh) are provided to help you learn the layouts of the fonts.

LaserPaleo-Hebrew for Windows and LaserPaleo-Hebrew for Macintosh are compatible with each other. Documents typed with these fonts may be transferred back and forth between Windows and Macintosh with no conversion necessary as long the fonts are installed on both computers. (There is a single exception to this, discussed below in the Windows and Macintosh System Requirements sections of this page.)

Cost: US$ 149.95 for all ten alphabets; $49.95 for individual alphabets Order

LaserPaleo-Hebrew for Windows

TrueType® and Type 1 hinted Paleo-Hebrew fonts. The fonts are typed with your default keyboard. Simply select the font in your application's font menu and type, following one of the included keyboard layout charts. The arrangement of the fonts is phonetic, based on the US keyboard layout, and typed documents may be transferred to Macintosh users with no conversion necessary as long as the appropriate font(s) are installed on the Mac. The single exception to this is the AradLevelVILS font. The basic Hebrew forms may be typed with your default keyboard and documents typed this way are cross-platform compatible. However, AradLevelVILS includes extra characters not in the other fonts, and these characters cannot be typed with your default keyboard. The product includes the AradLevelVILS keyboard driver which provides access to all characters in the font. If these extra characters are included in your document special instructions (included in the User's Manual) must be followed to transfer the document to a Mac user.
