Steveman, fonts on your site
#1
I can't copy Aramaic stuff from your site into Word properly <!-- sSad --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif" alt="Sad" title="Sad" /><!-- sSad -->

I chose Estrangelo on the left, and it still turned out crappy in Word. Is there any way you can have your articles on your site in the Peshitta.org format? And copyable too... When you try and copy Unicode stuff it is all boxes.

I could write a Font Script for "Estrangelo (V1.1)." The current "Aramaic Estrangelo" that I use is the font that comes with Aramaic Write, not the one that's used here.

For some reason, however, my computer has ceased to display "Estrangelo (V1.1)" altogether. It displays in Arial instead (weird, huh?).

If someone were to send me a keymap of "Estrangelo (V1.1)" I'll make a script for it.

Shlomo oH Steve,

If you go on "Beith Souryoy?? Morounoy??":
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.beith-morounoye.org/">http://www.beith-morounoye.org/</a><!-- m -->

English/School of Edessa/Syriac Lessons/Syriac Font

And download "AramaicShimo".zip:
In it you'll find a whole bunch of Fonts that work on the Unicode:
This includes: Phoenician/Canaanite Script; Assyrian Square Script/Estrangelo Script (The ones used on Peshitta.org, but these one use unicode).

poosh bashlomo,
Keepha-Moroown

That would be cool. Hope it's not too much trouble. But it would be better, so that visitors to your site can cut and paste teh Aramaic from your site into peshitta.org lexicon etc

That's actually something I was thinking of doing. I already have a front-end for the SEDRA III database that I could probably use on my site with little trouble (I'm guessing that the lexicon uses SEDRA III). I could code it right into the ARAMAIC tags, themselves: Click on the word, up pops the lexical search. :-)
