Apparatus SIL Font

The Apparatus SIL fonts are the Unicode version of their predecessor, SIL Apparatus. The design is the same, only the encoding is different. The Apparatus SIL fonts were designed to provide most of the symbols needed to reproduce the textual apparatus found in major editions of Greek & Hebrew biblical texts.

These fonts were based on SIL Charis, a font designed for optimum clarity and compactness when printed at small point sizes. This assures that both Charis SIL and Apparatus SIL can be used together in documents with a consistency of style.

Most lines of text in the apparatus can be reproduced by combining the Greek and Hebrew fonts, transliteration (using a font such as Charis SIL), and the Apparatus SIL font.
