Hebrew Fonts

Open-source Unicode Hebrew Fonts (sorted by diacritic support and style) • פונטים בעברית, יוניקוד וקוד פתוח

This is a collection of fonts supporting the Unicode Hebrew code range and which have been shared by their type foundry and/or typographer under an open-source font license. The list of fonts is organized according to four major categories of support for Hebrew diacritics but may be filtered by style and other attributes. Click the abgad display (or the + button) to expand the details of the font. Click the font name to see a more comprehensive character map of the aleph-bet showing the actual diacritic positioning, as well as some other details. At the bottom of the page is displayed a font catalogue showing how these fonts are rendered in a document (rather than on a website) — a subtle but important distinction since some fonts that display on the web have issues in text editors, and vice versa.

Before using any of these fonts, you will also need a Hebrew keyboard layout installed for your Operating System. (Instructions here.) You may also benefit from our guide to editing and layout of Hebrew text.

This resource is maintained by Aharon Varady (founding director of the Open Siddur Project). All the fonts can be downloaded as a comprehensive ZIP file from his github account here. (If you’d like to support the maintenance of this font pack, and of the project in general, please consider becoming a patron.)

Fonts supporting niqqud only

No cantillation marks. A font with only isolated, minor positioning issues still belongs here — flag it per-font rather than moving it to failing-diacritic-support.

Extracted from Yoram Gnat’s Proto Canaanite font: the 9 letters (dalet, vav, het, kaf, lamed, pe, tsadi, qof, shin) with a rafe-triggered third alternate pictograph form; the other 13 letters show their regular form.

Additional Non-Hebrew Open Source Unicode Fonts:

  • Greek & Latin, Akkadian, Egyptian (Hieroglyphs and Demotic), Cyrillic and Old Church Slavonic, Ethiopic, Arabic, and more.
  • Assorted Dingbats of all sorts!

COMPLETE FONT PACK DOWNLOAD:

ZIP (v.2024.08.04) | PDF (Open Source and Unicode Hebrew Font comparison chart. Note: contains shemot.)

Our open-source Unicode Hebrew font pack is maintained on Github by Aharon N. Varady. If you value this service, please consider becoming a patron.

 

In the font catalogue we prepared, the fonts can be compared relative to one another as they appear in a document rendered through the LibreOffice Writer open-source text layout editor.

INSTALLING FONTS ON WINDOWS

If you’d like to install all the fonts in the font pack at once, follow these instructions:

  1. To search and find all of the TTF files in the unzipped directory of fonts, use CTRL-F
    type *.ttf (asterisk dot ttf) as your search keyword. Repeat this step but type *.otf for searching for and installing OTF files.
  2. The search will list all of the fonts in their separate directories.
    To select all of them at once use CTRL-A. (Alternately you can click edit on the windows toolbar and select, “select all”.)
  3. Then right-click on any of the highlighted fonts and select “install font”. (Make sure to right-click rather than left-click, otherwise you won’t see the install font option and you’ll have to select them all again using CTRL-A.)

 

ADDING A HEBREW KEYBOARD LAYOUT

If you want to access the Hebrew letters in these fonts, you’ll need to setup your a keyboard layout for your operating system. Instructions here.)

 

Why did we make this font pack?

Unicode is a computing industry standard for the consistent encoding, representation and handling of text expressed in most of the world’s writing systems.

The importance of sharing documents with Unicode 4.0+ compliant Hebrew fonts was underlined for us in early 2010, after the liturgy of a popular siddur was contributed to the Open Siddur Project with a public domain declaration. The format of the file shared was a PDF, and unfortunately, most of the text rendered in the PDF was encoded with old proprietary Hebrew fonts made by a commercial font foundry, Elsner+Flake. These fonts were developed prior to the standardization of Hebrew in Unicode. Efraim and I made some progress in attempting to convert the documents but so far we have not been successful. (Perhaps you can help convert them.) The contributor had no other copies of the liturgy except for what was contained in the PDF shared. The entire sad episode indicated the need for publishers of digital documents to prepare their documents in open standard formats, with text encoded with open standard fonts.

Given the twenty year history (at least) of digital Hebrew font development, there are quite a few pre-Unicode Hebrew fonts floating around the Internet and locally, on folk’s home computers. On the Internet, they sometimes show up on font download websites with a note that they are shareware or freeware with some restriction or another. Documents prepared with non-Unicode fonts are destined to be unreadable.

Even if a Hebrew font is Unicode it might 1) not support the full range of diacritical marks (nikkud/vowels and t’amim/trope/cantillation) and 2) not be licensed in such a way that it does not conflict with free/libre and open source licenses. There are now, thankfully, many more open-source licensed and Unicode compliant Hebrew fonts that support the full range of Hebrew diacritical marks (vowels and cantillation) than when we began collecting and disseminating these fonts in 2009.

Moreover, by license these fonts are free for creative reuse (as well as free without license fee to download). SIL International’s Ezra SIL font and David Perry’s Cardo font are both shared using SIL’s Open Font License version 1.1.0. Yoram Gnat’s fonts at the Culmus Project are all shared freely with a GPL including the font exception clause. A certain number of older open-source fonts are shared with a GPL 2 but without the font exception, and so the use of these fonts can, in unusual circumstances, conflict with the licenses of other free/libre and open source projects. (A full list of acceptable open source licenses for digital fonts is available here.)

It is often a wonder how certain typefaces, designed over a hundred years ago and residing in the Public Domain, can nevertheless be restricted by software licenses. After all, even new typefaces in the United States and Canada cannot be copyrighted; only the underlying software logic in digital fonts that control the placement of letters and diacritics can be copyrighted. While the art may be in the Public Domain, the underlying logic may be considered software and thus be protected by copyright. The good news is that many digital fonts use the underlying font logic written by John Hudson which itself is freely licensed open source software (with the MIT license).

If you or your company designed a Hebrew font which you never updated to Unicode, why not share it with an open font license so that others may adopt it, update it, and create anew with it?
