  Description     : smart Unicode font for biblical Hebrew


Description:

Ezra SIL is a typeface fashioned after the square letter forms of the
typography of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS), a beautiful Old
Testament volume familiar to biblical Hebrew scholars. (It is similar
to SIL Ezra for those who know it and use it).

The Ezra SIL font is an OpenType 'smart' font.

Two fonts from this typeface family are included in this release:

     - Ezra SIL version 2.5 (Containing the basic set of Unicode
        characters needed for Biblical Hebrew texts following the
        typeface and traditions of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia.)

     - Ezra SIL SR version 2.5 (Containing the same set of Unicode
        characters as above but with a different style of cantillation.)
