I accept that there is a problem with websites which display only using SBL Hebrew, in that they are usable only by Windows users. It is a limitation of certain sites e.g. Chris Kimball's, http://www.cvkimball.com/Tanach/Tanach.xml , that they do not make it clear that they may work properly only with Windows.

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.
