Serto and Swadaya Fonts

Oct-18-2001 at 06:48 PM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)

Shlama to all,

Does anyone know of any downloads(free or otherwise)for Serto and Swadaya fonts? I'd really like to join these two with my Estrangelo and Hebrew fonts. This would certainly make a nice foursome.

Shlama Akhi Biga,

Yes, I was able to download a few different versions of Serto font. Bro. Elisha fixed me up pretty good with those two links he sent in the post above. The "Jacobite" font on the peshito.com site is superb but I couldn't find the "resh" keystroke for some reason. There is a 21-font collection with BethMardutho called "Meltho" fonts. I thought I read where you have to have Windows XP OR 2000 ONLY because it was giving the Windows ME users some difficulties. I can't remember the details concerning Mac users(if that's what you have)
To download the font collection from atour, I was under the impression that now they want you to be registered. Maybe Akhi Paul knows "the whole scoop" on this issue.
If you want "the finest of the fine" Serto font, the one you can download from the javascript popup lexical windows at peshito.com can't be beat, unless George Kiraz at BethMardutho has something comparable. It will also enable you to view the popup lexicon's alternate western script when you click on the "View in Jacobite" link.
At https://www.assyrianlanguage.com/ you can go to "Level 2"-"Lessons 53 and 54" for a really decent charting of Serto(Initial,Medial,Final,etc.)
A very good site that has 1 Estrangelo font and 4 Sertos is https://www.metan.purespace.de/english/writeAramaic.html
Hope this helps.

Shlama w'Burkate,

Lawrence Raymond Kelsey

Dear Larry,

thank you for the link! I'm speculating scanning and recognising the Syriac Dictionary to faster work.

p.s. what do you think about contradictions topic?

Shlama Akhi Biga,

In answer to your question about contradictions, I think you've got a good thing here. Answering tough questions, particularly those coming from extremely skeptical people, is important for those who need to have light shed on subjects that many view "through a glass darkly." I pray that we will be able to stay on the track of "sound Biblical exegesis."On a sidenote, I've noticed that many of the popular and effective translation works are a combination of translation, transliteration (and paraphrase where absolutely needed). Hopefully there can be an interweaving of Hebrew and Aramaic language studies in all or most places one chooses to address in Scripture as far as seeming contradictions are concerned.

Shlama w'Burkate,

Lawrence Raymond Kelsey

Hello dear Larry,

I downloaded two Serto fonts, they are fine. My problem is, that they are not compatible with Estrangelo. Generally I use Paul's translation and his concordance. But sometimes I want find the word also in the Payne Smith's dictionary what use the Serto fonts. Altough Paul sent me a nice conversion table, it would be very comfortable write a word in Word as Estrangelo and convert it simply to Serto. I think, the keyboard map is different.
Yes, the practice will solve this problem in time, because the two fonts have not too big difference.

Grace, mercy and peace to you Bro. Biga,

I'm glad you like those fonts. Did I mention that you can view Estrangelo and Serto from the same page on peshito.com. There are two ways to view the entire javascript popup lexical window. I say this because, the options of "Download Estrangelo Font" followed by the option of "View in Jacobite"(an extremely nice Serto font) followed by "Close," are at the bottom of the popup lexical window. When you click on "View in Jacobite" the situation is reversed. Then you're presented with "Download Jacobite Font"(this will enable you to see your word in Serto script) followed by "View in Estrangelo" if you need to refresh your memory on the word entry in Estrangelo script. This way you can flip back and forth from Estrangelo to Jacobite(Serto) at the click of a mouse. If you don't like to keep going to your menu bar tabs to click on "View" then highlight "Text Size" to shrink your popup window so you can view the bottom of the window where your script options are, then you can do a long sweeping vertical "click and drag" stroke to cause the contents to scroll down. You might have to click on an open spot to get rid of the blue shading that results from the "click and drag" method, but then you're "good to go."
Hope this helps concerning your Estrangelo/Serto mayhem.

Wishing you the best through the holiday season,

Lawrence Raymond Kelsey
