Any font with full Latin support should be adequate for Hebrew transliteration (see Doulos SIL, Charis SIL, or Gentium for an acceptable Unicode font for transliteration of Biblical Hebrew). No transliteration fonts are provided.Texts which have been converted to NFC or NFD canonical order will not display correctly with these fonts. Follows the recommendations for character order and encoding determined by a group of font developers during discussions in May 2003.Works in any application that uses OpenType fonts.Includes Latin-1 characters, but should not be used for solely Latin texts, since the punctuation is done in a Hebrew style.Improved placement of extra-biblical punctuation, such as period and comma.Unicode 5.0 support of Hebrew and Latin-1 codepages.Ezra SIL SR does not do this, but centers it, as for a normal patah.
