Dieudonne Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I have installed the SBL Hebrew Font on my computer, but it is not available in Accordance Unicode Display preference. The same fonts are, however, visible and available in other applications. Is there something I have to do for Accordance to recognize this font on my computer?

Timothy Jenney Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 You can either choose Unicode or individual fonts for Hebrew and Greek. If you unclick Unicode, that Hebrew font should appear among the menu choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'm not sure what Tim is referring to, but it doesn't sound correct. Dieudonne, have you restarted Accordance to see if that helps? Does the font appear in Font Book? I've seen strange things with SBL Hebrew and various apps not appearing. One computer I was looking at showed it in all available applications (including Accordance), but not MS Word. Maybe validating or reinstalling the font in Font Book may help?

Dieudonne Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I have restarted Accordance and even restarted my computer but nothing has changed. Interestingly, SBL Hebrew is not in my Font Book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 If its not in your Font Book, it is likely not installed properly, so I'd try reinstalling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieudonne Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I reinstalled it, restarted my computer, and it now appears in Accordance, but no more in Microsoft office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Brylov Christensen Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I reinstalled it, restarted my computer, and it now appears in Accordance, but no more in Microsoft office. I use Mellel whenever I need to write papers that include many different scripts and fonts. Microsoft Office is, in my opinion, very unreliable for that kind of work (on Mac at least). LibreOffice is doing okay, mostly, but does struggle from time to time. The downside to Mellel, however, is that you need to get used to a rather different interface compared to Word and LibreOffice.

Dieudonne Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thanks, Pchris. I have Mellel but do not use it for the same reasons you mentioned. I hope I can get the SBL fonts to work on Microsoft word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Brylov Christensen Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thanks, Pchris. I have Mellel but do not use it for the same reasons you mentioned. I hope I can get the SBL fonts to work on Microsoft word. It does take a while getting used to, but I quite like the way it works now, even though I haven't taken the time to learn all of its features yet. I hope you'll give it another chance - at least until Microsoft solves the problem. With kind regards Peter Christensen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Buck Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Don't know if it will help any, but SBL's "BibLit" font includes the glyphs for Hebrew and Greek in one font. Maybe that will help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarod.jacobs Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi, I'm having the same problem as the OP, but after uninstalling, reinstalling, logging out and back in, shutting down and restarting, installing to the various font folders (user and computer), the SBL font still does not show up in Accordance. I am using 10.5 and have 10.9 OSX. The font shows up in my other applications (such as Mellel). Any suggestions? Thanks! Jarod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Jarod, does the font validate properly in the Font Book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarod.jacobs Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi Joel, Yep, the font validates in Font Book just fine. Thanks, Jarod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
