But isn't part of the problem that only a limited number of fonts are 
available right now that can properly render the MT with full pointing? 
So maybe what Karl is experiencing has to do with the complexity of 
sites that require SBL Hebrew. Something else to consider--even if a 
site specifies SBL Hebrew as the only option, don't most browsers allow 
you to override the font specifications of the page you're viewing? That 
might help for Mac users.
