Installing Fonts and OS Compatibility
Mac OSCommon Solution: Install fontsIf you cannot view Syriac characters you likely need to install a unicode Syriac font (the Mac OS does not come with any Syriac fonts). Digital Syriac Corpus recommends you install the Meltho family of Fonts available free from Beth Mardutho. We recommend you install at least Estrangelo Edessa, though you may wish to install all the fonts.Note: Mac users may get an installation error because the Meltho fonts were originally designed for Windows. Please follow this protocol:
- Open each individual font icon in the Meltho Folder.
- Once the 'Font Book' window opens, select 'Install Font.'
- A message will display, 'Problems may have been found with some fonts during validation. Please review the reported problem before continuing…. One minor problem was found. Proceed with caution.'
- Check the box 'Select all fonts.'
- Select 'Install checked.'
Even with Meltho or other fonts installed there is also a known conflict with Apple's default rendering of the ܘ (waw) character when a conflicting Arabic font is installed.
WindowsCommon Solution: Install fontsMost versions of Windows come with Estrangelo Edessa preinstalled. If you would like to see Syriac text in other scripts (Serto or East Syriac), we recommend you install the Meltho family of Fonts available free from Beth Mardutho.AndroidCommon Solution: Syriac unavailable.Unfortunately at this time Android devices do not support Syriac unicode display without first being 'rooted' which is recommended only for advanced users. Prospective users could submit a feature request to Google (or other Android providers) for 'full unicode font support for world heritage languages including Syriac (U+0700–074F).' We are not aware of the best way to contact the Android development community at this time.LinuxCommon Solution: Install fontsSyriac can be supported on some distributions of the Linux operating system. If you cannot view Syriac characters you likely need to install a unicode Syriac font. Digital Syriac Corpus recommends you install the Meltho family of Fonts available free from Beth Mardutho. Notes: We recommend you install at least Estrangelo Edessa, though you may wish to install all the fonts.oXygen XML EditorAll of the underlying TEI data from Syriaca.org can be downloaded as raw XML files and viewed in an XML editor. The following guidelines explain how to configure one application, the oXygen XML Editor, to display Syriac. These guidelines assume that one has already installed the Meltho family of fonts from Beth Mardutho as described above.The standard release of the oXygen XML Editor software employs Java 8, which does not support the right-to-left connecting characters necessary for typing Syriac. However, there is an alternate distribution of oXygen that employs OpenJDK instead of Java, and OpenJDK does support the use of Syriac scripts. The OpenJDK version of oXygen is available on the oXygen XML Editor downloads page underneath the standard release (look for the link that says “Includes OpenJDK..”).
