Designed by a seminary student for typing class papers, BibleScript is is the perfect toolkit for the Bible Scholar who needs to publish documents with original languages in them. The BibleScript Unicode package includes all the old fonts, new unicode fonts, a keyboard program for typing in unicode Greek and Hebrew and the MS Word macros for converting other manufacturers' fonts to Galaxie fonts, and converting Galaxie Greek and Hebrew to Unicode.
For years we’ve been “cheating” and typing Greek and Hebrew with fonts which faked the Windows Operating System. Windows didn’t know you were typing in Greek or Hebrew and there were hyphenation problems, word-wrap problems, spell-checker problems, etc.
Windows 2000 and XP now have built-in foreign language support, the problem is that the built-in keyboards are laid out for natives of Greece or Israel. If you want to type a Bet, you type a “c”. If you want a Nun, you type a “b”. It’s rather confusing.
BibleScript Unicode works with the built-in foreign language capabilities of Windows 2000 and XP which now recognize Greek words as Greek, Hebrew words as Hebrew (complete with proper right-to-left typing and proper word-wrapping) and solves the keyboard layout problem.
BibleScript Unicode comes with the Tavultesoft Keyboard utility and Unicode keyboard modules which allow you to use the same BibleScript phonetic keyboards you are accustomed to using. You can use the BibleScript keyboards to type with the included Galaxie Unicode Fonts, or with other fonts that have unicode Greek or Hebrew in them like Palatino Linotype, Tahoma, etc.
The other problem is what to do with all those old documents with the “fake” fonts in them. Also included in this package are font conversion macros for Microsoft Word 2000 or later which allow you to convert many other manufacturer’s “old-fashioned” Greek and Hebrew fonts to the Galaxie “old-fashioned” Greek and Hebrew fonts. And you can then convert Galaxie Greek and Hebrew to Unicode.

Dear Hampton,
I am delighted to be informed of the new upgrade, which I have now ordered... I am full of admiration for the BS software that you supplied previously which has been quite outstanding and a great help to me - so much so that it is now an important factor when I am considering upgrading my hardware and software.
Thank you,
Colin

Hampton,
I downloaded the new BibleScripts last night. They work great and were easy to install.
Thanks for all your work on this project. Your program is by far the overall best choice.
Merry Christmas

Hampton,
For sheer ease of use, this one has to take the prize! I downloaded it today, and in less than a minute (literally) I accomplished font conversions that would have taken days and even weeks to accomplish in the past, and the result was not just another True type font layout, but true Unicode, no less. From there it was a third quick conversion to my choice of Unicode font. Now I wish you had a Syriac converter!.
One of the papers had used a form of SymbolGreek that was different from the SymbolGreekP recognized in the converter, so I simply changed the name of the font globally in the paper and ran the converter, even though neither font was resident on my computer. It is going to be a whole lot closer that way than doing it all manually, and I can clean it up later.
Thank you for making this available.
Regards, and with much appreciation,
Bernard
