Friends,

I've been working on preparing a comprehensive font pack of unicode Hebrew fonts with free and open source licenses and it's finally ready for download. Twenty-nine free and open source licensed, unicode Hebrew fonts, ready to install. I also made a neat poster comparing all the fonts, side by side. Download links are below, but first a summary of the fonts.

The font pack includes six fonts with a full set of diacritical marks (vowels/nikkud and cantillation/trope).

  • Ezra SIL/SR (SIL v.2.51)
  • Cardo (by David Perry, v.99s)
  • Keter YG, Keter Aram Tsova, Taamey David, Taamey Frank (by Yoram Gnat, Culmus Project)

Five nikkud-only fonts:

And eighteen fonts without diacrits:

If you need help setting up your computer to type in Hebrew using your own keyboard, we can help with that too. Instructions are here.

Sadly, I mistyped the URL in the PDF link above. The correct link to the PDF is: http://opensiddur.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Open-Source-and-Unicode-Hebrew-Font-comparison.pdf

Thanks to Efraim for catching this.
