Under Linux, Fedora Core 3:

With KDE's Konqueror browser, everything was fine except the SBL Hebrew which
displaced the initial nun to the left side of the word and followed it with a
hexadecimal entry.

With Gnome's Epiphany 1.4.4 Mozilla-based browser, everything looks fine.

With Mozilla 1.7.3 none of them look especially good; all but the SBL Hebrew
font place vowels, dageshes and accents in separate slots, while the SBL font
has several things out of position.

Netscape 7.2 is same as Mozilla.

With Firefox 1.0 preview release, they all look great!

Yes, I have all 3 Mozilla/Netscape-based browsers installed and I have all of
the fonts installed. I experiment with this machine a lot.......

Hope this info is helpful.

Reality is what refuses to go away when
you stop believing in it.
