LaserHebrew includes twelve professional quality, hinted, scalable Hebrew fonts in both TrueType® and Type 1 formats:
Hebraica® II, Hebraica® IIC, HebraicaMod and Hebraica IISupra all in regular and bold styles.- NewJerusalem™, NewJerusalemC™, NewJerusalemV™, Bethel® II, Bethel® IIC, BethelMod, ScriptHebrew II, and Arad Level VI LS, all in plain style only.
- The NewJerusalem Hebrew font (which closely matches the shapes and weights of the characters and accents in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia), the Hebraica II font (a standard classical-style square Hebrew font) and the Bethel II font (a Ramat-style modern Hebrew font) contain all vowel points and accents occurring in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (the Tanach or Old Testament). Automatic overstriking vowel points, accents, cantillation marks, and diacritical symbols are able to be placed over any letter in any combination.
- The NewJerusalemC, Hebraica IIC and Bethel IIC Hebrew fonts are the same as NewJerusalem, Hebraica II and Bethel II except they have cantillation marks more familiar to those reading regular Jewish prayer books.
- NewJerusalemV is a vocalized font without accents that is completely Windows and Macintosh compatible since it uses only Lower ASCII positions.
- The Hebraica IISupra fonts contain supra-linear vowels and diacriticals.
- The HebraicaMod and BethelMod fonts are for typing modern Hebrew and Yiddish.
- ScriptHebrew II is an informal, handwritten-style modern Hebrew font.
- Arad Level VI LS is an inscriptional-style Hebrew font following the representation of Hebrew characters in level VI of the Arad excavations.
- The NewJerusalem, Hebraica and Bethel fonts have the same character sets as do the fonts in LaserHebrew II. They differ only in typestyle.
LaserHebrew fonts are English system, left-to-right fonts, excellent for those needing to input Hebrew words or short phrases into an English (or other language) document. The fonts are especially valuable for those working with the Hebrew Scriptures (which are formatted in NewJerusalem), allowing you to copy and paste portions of the text into your document. Nine compatible Hebrew fonts are available in LaserHebrew II. Those who must be compatible with Hebrew Windows, or who must have a right to left input system should see our Unicode-encoded fonts, LaserHebrew in Unicode for Windows or Macintosh.
LaserHebrew for Windows
Easily type modern and Biblical Hebrew (including all vowels and cantillation marks) and Yiddish, using logical keyboard input. Includes a Word for Windows template for easy right to left input (one line at a time) in the US (English) version of Word for Windows. The Word for Windows right to left template does not overcome all the limitations of working in the English (left-to-right) Windows environment. The user must still be careful about word wrap at the right end of each line, and have a carriage return at the end of each complete line of Hebrew text to prevent the right-most word (the first word in a Hebrew sentence) from wrapping to the next line. The Word right to left template does, however, provide an easy way to type Hebrew as if you were typing in a right to left environment, while still using your English application, and is ideal for typing short amounts of text.
System Requirements: Requires Windows 10, 8, 7, or Vista. An older version is available for Windows XP. Contact the sales office or specify for Windows XP in the Special Instructions dialog on the Order Form.
The TrueType® fonts install into Microsoft® Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and work with all Windows applications that allow the user to select fonts from a font menu. The product includes a User's Manual and keyboard layout chart(s). The included keyboard driver(s) allows access to four characters per key (instead of the normal two) and alternate keyboard layouts. All documentation is in PDF format, available on the Windows Start menu, and can be viewed and/or printed using Adobe Reader. The fonts will print to any printer at the highest quality allowed by your printer.
A custom version (fonts only) is available for Linux, but Linux users must provide alternate keyboard input for characters in the extended character set. If you are ordering for Linux be sure to select the Linux box on the Order Form.

"I have used Hebraica II for several years, and there does not seem to be another Hebrew font that even comes close to the style and design of your font. All other fonts are just poorly designed. Please accept my meager praise for your superb product."
Thomas A. Howe, Ph.D. Professor of Bible and Biblical Languages, Southern Evangelical Seminary
"I am very pleased with your fonts. They are crisp, clean and you have them loaded with all the pointing, cantillations, and diacritics that the other fonts don't have. I am teaching Hebrew and use your fonts to build my quizzes, tests, and exercises from Weingreen. I include the accents when they are important to the understanding of the texts. Your mapiq/dagesh/shuruq solution is quiet effective and elegant. You have a great font."
Prof. Shawn Madden, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

"I am a very satisfied user of your LASERHEBREW fonts for such varied projects as class handouts, a recent book published camera ready, and currently, drafts for the upcoming publication of two of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Thank you."
Dr. Richard J. Saley, Harvard University
"I first bought Macintosh fonts from Linguist's Software at least 15 years ago, and I was immediately impressed with their quality and used them for years with no problems whatsoever. When I switched to the Windows platform a few years ago, I tried several different sorts of fonts, but none of them were comparable in quality and ease of use to your products. My purchase a few days ago only served to confirm once again that fonts from Linguist's Software are in a class by themselves. (May I also compliment you on the excellent user's manuals that you produce; I'm glad that your company is willing to buck the minimalist trend in the industry and continue produce well-written, well-produced, very comprehensive [PDF] manuals.) A satisfied customer..."
Jack Hagge, Iowa State University, Program in Linguistics
"I've been using Linguist Software's Greek and Hebrew fonts for over 6 years throughout my higher education - they have enabled me to write up detailed textual studies and to produce professional-looking assignments. As I embark on a PhD I know I'll be relying on these fonts."
Elizabeth Harper, Bristol, UK
"IT WORKS! With the NewJerusalem font and your new BHS text, the text is perfect. Many thanks."
Francis Treuherz London England UK
"Thanks for the great service. I had anticipated having to spend much more than this. By the way, I live and die by your fonts."
David Baer, Ph.D., President and Professor of Hebrew, ESEPA Seminary, San José, Costa Rica
"This is an amazing resource for me. Thanks so much!"
Jennifer Knust
Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, College of the Holy Cross

"Linguist's Software provides excellent Hebrew fonts for Windows and Macintosh. Transferring documents from one platform to the other is made without problems. Their Hebrew fonts have excellent design and a large variety of styles. They provide the only Hebrew/Aramaic font that we know with supralinear vocalization (Babylonian and Palestinian), apart from the SP Damascus, whose designs are not very attractive."
Pere Casanellas, Barcelona, Spain
"You are quick and professional as always. It's a pleasure to work with everyone at Linguist's.... and I definitely spread the word where I can about your Hebrew fonts. How impressed I was that within a couple of days of my discovering a bug, Linguist's had mailed out a fix to *every* registered user of your fonts. Keep up the great work!"
Joel Siegel, Berkeley, CA
"Your fonts are much more beautiful than [Microsoft's] Windows 2000 fonts for Hebrew etc."
Veli Voipio, Finland
"Your software is the best I have found, and has proven to be very valuable in my seminary studies. The fonts and templates are working out well."
Pastor Greg Davis, Sarasota Federated Church, San Jose, CA
"Thanks again for the great products."
Mark H Harris, CrossRoads College, Rochester, MN
