Anyone ? I'm working on a project. Have fonts.
Email to address in the .sig would be nice, but
a post here would be fine too.

Thanks,
Steve

Although I've seen claims that the name Stephen (as in their saint) is
derived from a Greek root, I've also seen claims that sound more
reasonable to me that derive the name from the Hebrew name Tzefania
(Zephaniah). Makes sense to me.

There is no direct translation of Steven or Stephen/Stephan to Hebrew.

What you might want to consider is using the S (shin)..

Shmuel
Shimon
Shlomo
Shevach
Shafir
Shahar
Sasson
Stav
Sharon (sha'rone -b f & m)
Shai

There are more of course. When choosing a Hebrew name its always good to ask a
rabbi as well. Finally, there is the gematria aspect of a name, some
(tzimtzumim) numbers are considered more divine than others.

When I converted (2nd day of Succoth, 5755), I looked up the Greek meaning of
Stephen (crown) and found the Hebrew equivalent of that, which is Keter, so
now I'm Keter bar-Avraham.

I like Keter because of the "crown of a good name" quote in the Pirke Avot,
and because of its Kabbalistic implications.
