Biblical Language Fonts, Unicode, etc.

The Galilee Greek font, a sans serif Windows TrueType font for polytonic koine Greek. Lots more detail, samples, and a download link on the linked page. (This is not a Unicode font; for that see the next listing.)
The Galilee Unicode Greek font is now available. First posted 11/1/03. Fourth beta release, v. 0.7, posted 12/27/04. Now covers classical as well as koine/Hellenistic Greek and sigla as used in the NA27 text for NT textual criticism.
Biblical Language fonts and Unicode, an introductory discussion of font issues that arise in biblical studies; focuses primarily on Greek, but very relevant to Hebrew or Aramaic as well. This is a summary of some of what I have learned in the process of designing the Galilee font. Includes "What a NT Student Should Know about Unicode" (2d ed. of a 13 page paper that explains what Unicode is, how it relates to "doing Greek" on a computer, and how to use it; with a bibliography).
12/25/04: Mac OS X 10.2+ Unicode keyboard layout for polytonic Greek following the TLG beta code system. Details on the page linked, but generally this is the Mac equivalent of using Keyman on Windows with the Classical Greek keyboard by Lopez.

These pages use Unicode UTF-8 encoding; most Greek text is now in Unicode format, though some remnants of the older, non-standard Galilee encoding remain. You should not have difficulties viewing this material if you have a relatively current web browser and a font that contains polytonic Greek. Certain disclaimers apply. Please note that I am unable to serve as a Q & A resource. As my schedule permits, I will attempt to answer questions related specifically to my own writings posted on this site, but I cannot answer general Bible or Greek questions from anyone who is curious. Sorry!
