fakeitormakeit2 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 So I'm having a bit of problem getting a certain alphabet onto my computer. I've been trying to get a specific alphabet used in Syriac (Aramaic) called Serto. Windows offers an alphabet called "Syriac" but that is known as the Estrangela form. There are certain programs around like Meltho Fonts, but they only seem to work on Windows 2000 (and I use Window 7). Also, all the attachments I've seen only work with IE and I have Firefox. By the slim chance of anyone being able to help me, that would be great.

lordkafei Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 These fonts on Alan Woods site might be what you are looking for. I ran BabelMap and found three Syraic fonts on my system.

fakeitormakeit2 Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Thank you for helping me. However I hate to say that's not what I'm looking for. That looks like Nestorian and Estrangela.If it helps to give exact names, Estrangela Edessa (sometimes spelled Estrangelo Edessa) is commonly found on operating systems and is the default provided one, which I am not looking for. I am not particularly interested in Nestorian either (but thanks again). Serto Jerusalem (or any other version of Serto) is what I'm having trouble finding.

I know the professors from Beth Mardutho who designed the scripts, so that was like the first thing I tried. It doesn't work on Windows 7. Edit: Never mind, the installer wouldn't work but I was able to extract the file and install the alphabets separately. He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked...

lordkafei Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Perhaps this commercial solution would work: http://www.linguists...are.com/lsc.htm They have a Jacobite font, which is (as I understand) another name for Serṭā.
