The SBL Hebrew font file, SBL_Hbrw.ttf, linked in the Instructions page contained an incorrect version, 1.11, instead of the intended version 1.12. The correct file as been placed on the site and in the down loadable Tanach.zip file.

With SBL Hebrew version 1.12 Firefox 1.5+ on Linux renders the Hebrew text very well.

In any operating system, examination of the first word in Psalms 27:13 can indicate which version of the SBL Hebrew font is installed on your machine. The "test page" link on the Instructions page provides quick access to this word. If the word lacks three lower dots, then you should to download version 1.12 from either the Installation page or directly from SBL.

Thanks to Vladimir Volovich for catching this error.
