I've posted regularly about using Unicode fonts, and David Instone-Brewer on the Tyndale Tech blog has now compiled an excellent resource on "Unicode Fonts Unite Biblical Studies." He has sections on:
- Unicode Installation Easier
- Unicode Bibles and Unicode on your Bible Software
- Converting old fonts to Unicode
- Unicode TLG, with INSTANT lexicon lookup
- Unicode Greek & Hebrew Bible on Palms and other PDAs
- Help, I've got an old computer!
Section 3 also has important information regarding conversion of fonts. Galaxie now provides their BibleScript program for free, and it can convert the TrueType BibleWorks fonts and the SBL fonts (SPIonic/SPTiberian) among many others into Unicode. (I am having some problems making it work consistently, but it might help.)
Ah, if only Apple would add Unicode Hebrew support—at least for viewing—to the iPhone OS! Greek seems to work pretty well.
