Estrangela fonts

Sep-16-2001 at 11:24 PM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)

What's the best font type to download for this forum. I've heard there are several sites that have free downloads for various Biblical language fonts. Also how do you extract them when you want to go from English to Aramaic on my posts? Do you have to use "Save target as..."etc. I've got it set up on 'Outlook Express' so I can insert Aramaic characters on an email, but I don't know how to move them or use them any other way. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

Shlama Akhi Larry,

Please use this font, also found in the 'Software Req.' section of this website:

ftp://atour.com/_fonts/ESTRANG2.TTF

Help for installing this font can be found here:

https://www.atour.com/dictionary/help.html

If you'd like to include text in the Estrangela font in a message here on this forum, use the following HTML code, replacing the angle brackets with square brackets:

<font class="Estrangelo (V1.1)" size="5">ARAMAIC KEYSTROKES HERE</font>

And finally, here is the keyboard layout for the Estrangela font used on this website:

Let me know if you need any further help!

Akhi Paul,

Have you considered using the Greek SIL font on Greek?

Any new info in 'gawra'?

Akhi Iakov,

Thanks so much for reminding me - yes, the SIL Greek font looks great - I'll make the necessary changes to the website tomorrow and include a download and instructions.

About 'gawra' - still looking, but I have about a dozen articles so far of (mostly) circumstantial evidence, including one that describes an inscription from around 800 B.C.

But, alas, still nothing a staunch critic wouldn't be able to attack.

God willing, it will show up one day soon. I have to start going back to the library, I've taken a break lately.

Shlama Akhi Paul,

I'm still a little bit confused on this. Do I have to left-click on 'reply with quote' for this to work or just 'reply'? After this code, will I see results as I'm typing and will the last part,
bring me back to English?

Shlama w'Burkate,
Larry

Shlama Akhi Larry,

Very good questions.

You can either 'reply' or 'reply with quote' - it doesn't matter.

You will not see the results as you are typing, in other words - you'll see the normal latin keys while typing.

BTW - you had coded the HTML correctly, except for a missing space between Estrangelo and (V1.1)

For example, try including this code into the text of a reply to this message, exactly as is except for replacing the angle <> brackets with square brackets:

<font class="Estrangelo (V1.1)" size="5">Yrl</font>

The Yrl in the text is your name in Aramaic, using the keystrokes of the Estrangelo font.

Cool. I know it's not very intuitive, but I think computers were designed with the thought that only Roman characters exist.

Congratulations. This reminds me of the first time I used the "font frame". That "space", between Estrangelo and (V1.1), tripped me up as well. Now you can do some real studies in Aramaic.

Shlama Akhi Larry,

One other thing - that keyboard mapping for the font, the 'keystrokes', are very important throughout this website - for instance, if you want to search the Lexical Concordance for a particular Aramaic word, you'll have to use these keystrokes.

And just as a reminder, it will display the Roman characters while you are typing.

Don't forget - we write backwards.

Shlama Akhi Stephen,

Sorry for my delay in returning a reply. I wanted to respond to you after I got back with Paul, but I had to rush off to work (afternoon shift).
I appreciate your congratulations and it's good to know I'm surrounded by others that make simple mistakes.

Shlama Akhi Paul,

Computers are extremely 'biased'when it comes to 'Latin and English only' status. Maybe they'll come out with 'All-Semitic keyboards' where you can use the shift,control and alternate keys to switch from Aramaic to Hebrew to Arabic. That would do away with the trouble of codes but you'd have to have two keyboards(one for English and one for Semitics) to communicate on the forum. Sort of a two-tier arrangement, you know. Ah well,just dreamin' I guess.
