As recommended by Nicolas Spalinger from the SIL project, we are now using GentiumAlt as the default font for Ancient Greek texts in BibleTime. God bless Raphaël

Hi Darrin, Good to see you here. Well Kubuntu has fonts for almost every language by default. The reason why I included the culmus hebrew fonts is to be able to read the Bible in Hebrew. As you may know, the WLC, along with other codecs of the Tanakh, doesn't use a simple alphabet, but also has lots of signs to indicate the way to pronounce/vocalize the words and signs to indicate the middle of the verses, the middle of chapters, the middle of the Torah, or where to breathe when singing the text. All these signs cannot be displayed properly with a simple modern Hebrew font, which is why I provided culmus and used Frank Ruehl's font by default. The following clearly shows why it is necessary to have a custom font to read WLC in BibleTime:

WLC with default font	WLC with Frank Ruehl's font	TR with default font

As of Greek, I think the modern greek fonts that are provided by default allow to read the Bible, as you can see in the previous screenshots. Note: the rules to write a Hebrew Bible are very strict, and even with a Frank Ruehl's font, the rendering is far from being perfect. For example, in Number 25:12, the vav in SHaLOM is not broken as it should be:

Numbers 25:12 in WLC	The broken vav of Numbers 25:12

The big vav in the middle of the Torah, along with many other pretty important font rendering in the Hebrew tradition don't appear in the WLC. All these problems don't exist with Greek. God bless <>< Raphaël <!--break-->
