a fine display of character

Thank you to each one who responded to the survey about whether or not you could view all the Hebrew and Greek characters in our post which experimented with different fonts.

The results were overwhelmingly that viewers were able to view both the Hebrew and Greek fonts if we used unicode fonts which are fairly widely used, such as SBL Hebrew or Ezra SIL for Hebrew and Gentium, Tahoma, Times, or Arial for Greek.

We'll try to remember to use these compatible fonts in the future on this blog, and would encourage others to do the same on their blogs when displaying Hebrew or Greek characters, especially if there are diacritics for Hebrew vowel pointing and accents and breathing marks for Greek.

And now, the poll will come a'tumbling down.
