Designed by a seminary student for typing class papers, BibleScript is is the perfect toolkit for the Bible Scholar who needs to publish documents with original languages in them. The BibleScript Unicode package includes all the old fonts, new unicode fonts, a keyboard program for typing in unicode Greek and Hebrew and the MS Word macros for converting other manufacturers' fonts to Galaxie fonts, and converting Galaxie Greek and Hebrew to Unicode.

For years we’ve been “cheating” and typing Greek and Hebrew with fonts which faked the Windows Operating System. Windows didn’t know you were typing in Greek or Hebrew and there were hyphenation problems, word-wrap problems, spell-checker problems, etc.

Windows 2000 and XP now have built-in foreign language support, the problem is that the built-in keyboards are laid out for natives of Greece or Israel. If you want to type a Bet, you type a “c”. If you want a Nun, you type a “b”. It’s rather confusing.

BibleScript Unicode works with the built-in foreign language capabilities of Windows 2000 and XP which now recognize Greek words as Greek, Hebrew words as Hebrew (complete with proper right-to-left typing and proper word-wrapping) and solves the keyboard layout problem.

BibleScript Unicode comes with the Tavultesoft Keyboard utility and Unicode keyboard modules which allow you to use the same BibleScript phonetic keyboards you are accustomed to using. You can use the BibleScript keyboards to type with the included Galaxie Unicode Fonts, or with other fonts that have unicode Greek or Hebrew in them like Palatino Linotype, Tahoma, etc.

The other problem is what to do with all those old documents with the “fake” fonts in them. Also included in this package are font conversion macros for Microsoft Word 2000 or later which allow you to convert many other manufacturer’s “old-fashioned” Greek and Hebrew fonts to the Galaxie “old-fashioned” Greek and Hebrew fonts. And you can then convert Galaxie Greek and Hebrew to Unicode.

The samples below are of the non-unicode fonts included with the package show the type styles that are included with BibleScript. In addition, the Modern Hebrew, Jerusalem, Akiba, Greek and Byzantine Fonts come with hollow versions of the fonts.
