It looks as if the fault lies with the SBL font.
1) Apparently the SBL font is only partially unicode complient in the first
place, which means that its use should be discouraged for scholarly
discourse. I have yet to see a SBL encoded site that has the points in the
right places, while unicode encoded sites render well.
2) the pattern of question marks in George’s messages indicate that his mailNo, the pattern suggests something quite different, something which I have already explained.
server can send and receive unicode within plain text messages, but those
messages that go through the B-Hebrew server have the non-unicode complient
SBL font stripped out. Unicode complient inserts are passed through the
B-Hebrew mail forwarder.
Peter mentioned in an earlier message that the SBL font is a Windows™ font.Indeed. More precisely, it is an OpenType font optimised for use on Windows. It works to some extent on other systems, but does not give fully correct results.
That could be the problem.
