Dear Friend,
 
    I must have accidently lost your correspondence to me off line, including 
your e-mail address. I apologize.
 
    As it happens, the specific questions you asked are not really within my 
field of interest. However, I would be delighted to hear from you again, off 
line.  
 
    Uri Hurwitz

New versions of the fonts Ezra SIL and Ezra SIL SR have just been 
released. See 
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=EzraSIL_Home.

Note that SIL is being very cautious in recommending this for use only 
with Office 2003. These fonts work well with any Unicode application 
supporting bidi text (in Windows, at least) for most Hebrew text, 
including full vowel pointing/niqud and most accents/teamim. It is only 
for ideal display of certain rare combinations of vowels and accents 
that Office 2003 is required, because the updated version of Uniscribe 
which comes with it is needed.
