Although today's Masonic rituals are not replete with ancient languages, much Masonic literature does feature ancient script. Hebrew and Greek appear on many old Masonic documents. Valuable resources such as Mackey's <strong>Encyclopædia of Freemasonry</strong> and Pike's <strong>Morals and Dogma</strong> refer frequently to ancient languages. Possessing the fonts necessary to reproduce these scripts can be valuable for Masonic research and personal edification. </p> <br /> <h3> <img src="http://orindalodge.org/img/fonts_alephomega_80.gif" width="80" height="80" alt="" align="left" vspace="10" hspace="20"> Scholars Press Hebrew <span style="font-family: Palatino Linotype; font-style: italic">&</span> Greek</h3> <span class="smalltext"> <a href="http://rosetta.reltech.org/TC/fonts/" class="lineoff">http://rosetta.reltech.org/TC/fonts/</a> </span> <br /> <p class="flush"> Scholars Press is a defunct publisher of monographs in the field of religious studies. SP created a series of freeware ancient language fonts for use on the Internet as well as in print. The Scholars Press fonts are well-mapped and of very good quality. </p> <p> There are Scholars Press fonts for Hebrew, Greek, Coptic and Syriac, as well as a nice font for English transliteration. For a complete archive of the Scholars Press fonts for both PC and Macintosh, see the link above. Here at Orinda Lodge, we have mirrored the PC versions of the two fonts most likely to be used by Masons. These fonts are copyright © 2000 by James R.

It is particularly useful for the inclusion of Masonic emblems in documents without resorting to unwieldy clip-art. It has a clean, contemporary look and has been used to create many of the icons used at this website.
