Looking at some of the Dead Sea Scrolls shows a similar orthography-or is it a style of handwriting/penmanship?Ī ben Chayyim printed TNK I have seen (date unknown) is the same. Looking at the Aleppo Codex it doesn't have that style of writing, but the strokes are more of less of uniform weight, but do have a slight taper. This tradition must go back beyond the first printed Hebrew texts. Modern Hebrew "sans serif"-style typefaces don't have this-think Helvetica or Arial instead of Times and Palatino. So we see wide or heavy strokes for horizontal parts of Hebrew letters, and narrow or light strokes for the vertical. It sounds like the issue is the design of the font itself, with the glyphs portrayed as is they were drawn with a pen, similar to English calligraphy where the pen has a wide nib and the width or weight of the stroke varies according to the direction in which it is drawn. with sbl you can work with size 10 - 12 easily, with Yehudit the minimum font size is16 - 17, if not more. add to that the fact that sometimes I work with my laptop (13.3 inch), so in this scenario the big font issue is getting ridiculous (3 - 4 sentence on screen). so, if I want to be able to read correctly I need enlarge the font, which is very unconformable (8-9 sentences on screen). " Sometimes, though, when the font is too small, cantillation and vowel signs may collide with each other" - exactly. Sometimes, though, when the font is too small, cantillation and vowel signs may collide with each other. SBL Hebrew looks fine, as opposed to SBL Greek like Julie said.ĭylan, what is it exactly that makes Yehudit uncomfortable to work with concerning the cantillation? I can read it okay. But I guess that's because my font of choice outside of Accordance is Ezra SIL/Ezra SIL SR with both being identical to Yehudit anyway, (especially SR when it comes to cantillation).
