2. System Requirements a. Operating Systems: 1) Windows 7, Vista, XP or Windows 2000 SP3 (any language version). 2) Hebrew (complex script) supplemental language support must be installed in Windows XP and 2000, using your Microsoft Windows installation CD (we provide instructions). Supplemental language support is installed by default in Windows 7 and Vista, and no extra step is required. b. Applications: 1) Requires any component of Microsoft Office 2010, 2007, or 2003, InDesign CS4, InDesign CS4- ME, or LibreOffice 3.3, OpenOffice 3.2, Lotus Symphony 3, or another Unicode-aware and OpenType-compatible application that similarly handles Hebrew vowels and accents. 2) InDesign is compatible for vocalized text and most accented text. 3) LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and Lotus Symphony support Hebrew only in Windows 7, Vista, and XP, not in Windows 2000. a) LibreOffice is available for free download from www.libreoffice.org. b) OpenOffice is available for free download from www.openoffice.org. c) Symphony is available for free download from symphony.lotus.com. 4) Older, non-Unicode applications such as Word 95 are not compatible. No version of Adobe PageMaker or Adobe FrameMaker support Unicode-encoded fonts. At this time WordPerfect does not support Unicode-encoded OpenType Hebrew. 5) QuarkXPress 7.0 and newer is Unicode-compatible, however, QuarkXPress 8.02 has been tested with Hebrew, and is not compatible. We do not know if the ME version supports Hebrew vowels and accents. If you are successful using LaserHebrewU with QuarkXPress 7 or newer (or with the ME versions) please let us know! c. Known problems: 1) Some of your applications' default settings must be changed to avoid unexpected results when using these fonts and keyboard software. Complete instructions for doing this in Word for Windows are in the last chapter of the Setup Manual. 2) Decimal character 254 (þ–Latin small letter thorn) in the fonts can no longer be input in Microsoft Office using keyboard input, even though the letter is shown on the two EnglishLS keyboard charts in this product. Character code input (Alt+0254) also does not work in Word. At this time there are three alternative ways to input this character: 1) the user may use the Insert Symbol feature from the Word menu bar; 2) the user may type the character in WordPad and copy and paste the character into Word; or 3) the user may assign a Word shortcut to this character following the instructions given in paragraph 7, page 13, of "Customize Word Settings". Microsoft has acknowledged this problem in Word but so far has provided no fix. 3) Decimal character 253 (ý-small letter y with acute) in the fonts can no longer be input in Microsoft Office using dead key input, even though the letter is shown on the EnglishLS (dead key) keyboard chart. The keystroke does not work in Word and Character Code input (Alt+0253) also does not work in Word. Input of the ý does work using the EnglishLS OT (OpenType) keyboard input method, in applications that support the OpenType features of the fonts (see System Requirements). If you need this letter while using the EnglishLS deadkey keyboard use one of the three alternative input methods listed in the previous paragraph.

6. Release History

• Version 17.0 2011 July 1 • All fonts except ScriptHebrewU were changed. This revision adds automatic proper positioning with furtive patah, e.g. the next to last word in Psalm 12:6. • Version 16.0 2011 June 4 • All fonts except ScriptHebrewU were changed to allow Unicode-standard input in Word of the special position of the hiriq under the final in the word Jerusalem. • Version 15.0 2011 April 22 • All fonts except ScriptHebrewU were changed to allow typing of vowel/accent combinations in lower position with the final kaf. • The product has now been tested with, and is supported by, LibreOffice 3.3 and Lotus Symphony 3, in addition to OpenOffice 3.2 (previously tested). Limitations found in Symphony 1.3 have been fixed in version 3; users should upgrade Symphony to the latest version. • Documentation has been updated. • Version 14.0 2010 December 22 • Five special symbols used in the Biblia Hebraica Quinta footnotes have been added in the Private Use Area of all of the fonts (positions U+E900 through U+E905) except ScriptHebrewU, which did not change. • The HebrewLS and HebrewLS Israeli keyboard drivers have been changed to provide input of these new symbols. The keyboard layout charts have been changed to show the new keystrokes. • The product is now also compatible with Microsoft Office 2010, and the documentation has been changed to reflect this. • Version 13.0 2010 June 24 • The product is now Windows 7 compatible, and documentation was updated. • The fonts are now supported by InDesign CS4 and InDesign CS4-ME. InDesign is compatible for vocalized text and most accented text. • All fonts except ScriptHebrewU have been modified; OpenType layout features were changed. In addition, refinements to accent positioning of some characters were made. • Microsoft Office 2002 (Word 2002) is no longer compatible. The only applications known to be compatible are Office 2007, Office 2003, InDesign CS4, InDesign CS4-ME, OpenOffice.org 3 and Lotus Symphony 1.3 and newer. InDesign is compatible for vocalized text and most accented text, and OpenOffice.org 3 and Lotus Symphony 1.3 support Hebrew only in Windows 7, Vista, and XP, not in Windows 2000. • Version 12.0 2009 November 6 • The MoriahU, NewJerusalemU, RamahU, and ShilohU families of fonts were changed. The OpenType tables in the fonts were modified to allow the dotted circle to be input to demonstrate the positioning of vowels and/or accents without requiring a consonant be typed. • The ScriptHebrewU font was not changed, since it does not include vowels. • The keyboard drivers did not change. • The User’s Manual was changed to note the new input method for the dotted circle (page 18, para. 16). • Version 11.0 2009 September 24 • A new font, NewJerusalemLU, has been added to the NewJerusalemU product set. NewJerusalemLU is like NewJerusalemU, except a “U-shaped” yerah ben yomo, the form used in the Leningrad Codex, has replaced the “V-shaped” version of that character, as used in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. This character has Unicode value 05aa in both fonts. The “U-shaped” yerah ben yomo, as used in the Leningrad Codex, is not supplied in any other of the fonts in LaserHebrewU. • The LaserHebrew in Unicode fonts were changed in the following ways: • Five new characters were added to bring the regular Hebrew section up to Unicode 5.1 compliance. These characters include 1) 05A2, the reversed athnach, 2) 05BA, the alternate holem for use only with vav, 3) 05C5, the lower dot, or punctum extraordinarium, 4) 05C6, the punctuation hafukha (reversed nun), and 5) 05C7, the qamats qatan. • OpenType functions have been added to the fonts to automatically position the furtive patah. • Sequences for special characters that once included the use of the paseq have now been changed to normal Unicode characters and order. • Extra kerning has been added to move some close characters slightly farther apart for better appearance. • The zero-width joiner and zero-width non-joiner character were added to the font. • The barred vowels were lowered in the MoriahCU and MoriahU fonts. • The HebrewLS keyboard has been changed to add the new characters on these keystrokes: • The reversed athnach is on Shift+Ctrl-Alt+period. • The alternate holem is on Ctrl-Alt+o, but not by itself. Since this holem is only used with the vav, the keystroke Ctrl-Alt+o enters the vav and the holem at the same time. • The punctum extraordinarium is entered using Ctrl-Alt+[. • The nun hafukha (reversed nun) is on Ctrl-Alt+n. • The qamats qatan is on Ctrl-Alt+period. • The zero-width joiner was added on Ctrl-Alt+j. • The zero-width non-joiner was added on Shift+Ctrl-Alt+j. • The EnglishLS OT keyboard has been added to the product, allowing input of Latin languages taking advantage of the OpenType layout features in the fonts. This allows input order of letter then accent. The EnglishLS (deadkey) keyboard is still in the product, providing deadkey input order (accent then letter). The EnglishLS OT keyboard is supported only by Office 2007/2003/2002, OpenOffice.org 3, and Lotus Symphony 1.3. The EnglishLS keyboard is supported by all Unicode-compatible applications. • The fonts are now supported in Windows Vista and XP (but not Windows 2000) by OpenType.org 3 and by Lotus Symphony 1.3 (which is based on OpenOffice). Both of these products are free, downloaded from OpenOffice.org and IBM, respectively. • To go along with the above changes to the fonts, the BHS texts have changed in these ways (this does not affect you unless you own the BHS texts): • The texts have been changed to complete Unicode compliance, with the exception of the first word of Psalm 27:13. The puncta extraordinaria in this word are typed with special keystrokes and characters in order to make the text appear correctly in Word 2007. Please see the LaserHebrewU User's Manual (chapter 5) for details on these keystrokes. • All the characters that are off the baseline in the BHS have now been raised in the texts. • The morphological division character was changed from a Private Use Area character to the zero- width joiner. • Some words in II Kings 17:31 were changed to make them match the BHS. • Version 10.0 2009 January 13 • All fonts except ScriptHebrewU have been changed to correct kerning problems in Mellel for Macintosh. The Windows fonts were changed at the same time so Windows and Macintosh documents will remain interchangeable. • After installation of the new fonts users should check the following words/verses in documents they have typed. Manual corrections can be made using Find and Replace operations. • There are 737 places in the BHS where the word "Jerusalem" is typed without a second yod, which is replaced by a hiriq under the right side of the final mem. Typing order in these places has been changed from "final mem, then hiriq" to "hiriq, then final mem". (There are a few instances of Jerusalem in the BHS that are unaffected.) • The word "vayomer" has been changed. The postpositive pashta was changed to qadma. (There are 140 instances of this in the BHS.) • In four verses (Ps. 32:5, Job 15:23, 34:37, and 39:25) the postpositive zinor was changed zarqa. • The Unicode-encoded Hebrew Scriptures (both vocalized and fully-pointed versions of the [1] BHS Line Breaks, [2] Justified by Paragraphs with tag">Pe's and Samek's, [3] Justified by Paragraphs with Pe's and Samek's Removed, and [4] Justified by Verse) have been changed to work with the new fonts. We recommend owners of the texts upgrade them at the same time as they upgrade the fonts. By using the new texts users will not need to make the above manual changes. Upgrade costs for the text are $20 for the first format and $10 for each additional format upgraded at the same time. • Version 9.3 2008 April 17 • All fonts except ScriptHebrewU had the yod-yod-patah ligature added for Yiddish. • The underline position was moved down to accommodate vowels and accents under letters when typed in Mellel on the Macintosh platform. for Windows does not recognize this underline setting in the font. When the Underline format option is chosen in Word, Word will place the underline under the consonants, causing the line to strike through the vowels and cantillation marks below the consonants. • To draw a line under Hebrew text in Word for Windows do the following: • Go to View, Toolbars, and select Drawing. This will place the Drawing toolbar on your screen, normally at the bottom, just above Word's status bar. • Either click on AutoShapes, then Lines, then the first line ( \ ), or just click on the \ to the right of AutoShapes. The cursor will change to a plus-shaped cursor. • Press and hold down the Shift key while using the center of the plus-shaped cursor to draw a line under the word(s) of Hebrew text you want underlined. You do not need to be precise about the height and length at this point. When you release the cursor you will have a line with circles at either end. • Manipulate this line with your cursor keys (arrow keys), going up or down, left or right, as necessary. As you press the cursor keys, if the movement is greater than desired (if the line jumps more than you want it to), this means Word's Grid function is turned on. To adjust to your needs click on the word "Draw" at the left end of the Draw toolbar. In the popup click on Grid…, and in the Drawing Grid dialog box that opens deselect "Snap objects to grid." Adjust other settings in this dialog as desired, and click OK. Now each press of the cursor keys will move the line a small amount, giving you more precise control. • You may also click on the circle at either end of the line and drag to lengthen or shorten the line.

• Version 9.2 2007 December 20 • All fonts except ScriptHebrewU and MoriahU have prepositive accents adjusted with vowels. (MoriahU previously had been adjusted.)

• Version 9.1 2007 June 6 • The setup routine has been changed to install the product into the Program Files folder on whichever drive it is found, instead of hard-coding the setup to install to the C: drive.

• Version 9.0 2007 May 10 • Windows Vista compatibility has been added. • The keyboards have been updated to work in Windows Vista. In addition, the keyboards now install simply by double clicking on their setup.exe file. This will install the keyboard file, associate it with the Hebrew Input Language (or English Input Language for the EnglishLS keyboard), and place the Windows Language Toolbar in the upper right corner of the (in Windows Vista and XP), or place the Language Indicator Button in the Taskbar (in Windows 2000). The user no longer needs to go into the Regional and Language applet in Control Panel to do these operations manually. The user may setup and remove any of the keyboards at any time. • All fonts except ScriptHebrewU have been changed so that the hiriq will migrate to the right of a final mem in the word Jerusalem when the yod is absent. • Corrects the position of the holem in the word YHWH. Some instances of the word require the holem from the to migrate over the vav.

• Version 8.1 2006 October 25 • Changes were made to the MoriahCU, MoriahU, RamahCU, RamahU, ShilohCU, and ShilohU fonts. The distinctive form of the nun found in the Decalogue with an elongated base has been revised in order to be more clearly recognizable as a nun. These fonts were brought to version 8.0 to bring them into conformity with the NewJerusalemU and NewJerusalemCU fonts. • The NewJerusalemCU, NewJerusalemU, and ScriptHebrewU fonts were not changed.

• Version 8.0 2006 October 5 • Two changes have been made to NewJerusalemU and NewJerusalemCU. • Holems will now migrate over a following alef when the alef is quiescent. If the alef is not quiescent the holem will migrate back to the preceding consonant when a vowel mark is added to the alef. • The word Jerusalem will now appear with a final mem and a hiriq in the same position as in the BHS text. • These changes do not affect any work typed with the previous versions of these fonts, as long as the text was typed with the correct input order. When users uninstall the old fonts, install the new fonts, and open documents typed with earlier versions of the fonts, the positioning of the affected diacritics will now be correct. • Four new LaserHebrewU product sets are now available: • LaserHebrew MoriahU in Unicode includes the MoriahU and MoriahCU fonts. • LaserHebrew RamahU in Unicode includes the RamahU and RamahCU fonts. • LaserHebrew ShilohU in Unicode includes the ShilohU and ShilohCU fonts. • LaserHebrew ScriptHebrewU in Unicode includes the ScriptHebrewU font. • All of the fonts (except ScriptHebrewU) have the same character set and arrangement as the updated LaserHebrewU font (NewJerusalemU). They each contain all vowel points, accents, and cantillation marks occurring in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, plus other diacritical symbols and the additional characters needed for Yiddish. The ScriptHebrewU font is a modern handwriting font and supports Modern Hebrew and Yiddish (and not Biblical Hebrew). All of the fonts also include the Latin 1 (code page 1252) and Extended Latin character sets providing English and other western languages such as French and German. They also support Modern Hebrew (code page 1255). The fonts include OpenType layout features supported (at this time) only by Microsoft Word 2003 and 2002. See System Requirements (above) for more details. • All fonts are provided in plain style (normal weight) only. • The four new products are Version 1.0 (NewJerusalemU is 8.0). • LaserHebrew Professional in Unicode for Windows includes all the fonts in all of the product sets described above.

• Version 7.4 2005 September 19 • The black overcircle in the PUA has been changed to a square. (The font version number is 7.3, and matches the Macintosh font.)

• Version 7.3 2005 May 16 • The User's Manual was revised for improved readability.

It will not properly position over consonants that have accents above them. • The User's Manual was updated to reflect this change. The keyboard chart was not changed.

• Version 7.1 2005 May 9 • Both fonts (NewJerusalemU and NewJerusalemCU were changed: the Sere-Munah-Merkah accent (E8D1) in Exodus 20 and Deut. 5 was added to font as one accent and the OpenType tables were adjusted to make the combination appear only under the , and not under the following yod also. • The Setup Instructions document was added to the Program Group on the Start menu.

The same accents following a lamed were also adjusted to avoid the dot on a following holem vav, , or shin with dagesh. (This corrects problems in version 5.0.) • The vowels without accents under nun, and were adjusted for better centering under those consonants. (This corrects problems in version 5.0.) • The zayin was improved in shape to better match the shape of the letter in the BHS. • The hacek accent was added in the PUA.

• Version 4.0 2004 November 2 • The OpenType tables in the fonts were changed to fix input of the "unreadable character" (looks like a circle) in Word 2003. The input method for this character worked in Word 2002 but changes to the version of Uniscribe that shipped with Office 2003 caused input to fail in Word 2003.
