Settings: Internet Browsers in Windows Vista

Mozilla FireFox 2.0 and Internet Explorer display Hebrew and Greek Unicode correctly by default.

If the Internet Browser settings are correct the following text should appear similar to the corresponding images.


Hebrew (Unicode): (Genesis 1:1-2)

בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ 2 וְהָאָרֶץ הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ וְחֹשֶׁךְ עַל־פְּנֵי תְהוֹם וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים מְרַחֶפֶת עַל־פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם

Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ υἱοῦ θεοῦ. 2 Καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν τῷ Ἠσαΐᾳ τῷ προφήτῃ• ἰδοὺ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου•

If Hebrew and Greek fonts do not display correctly select an internet browser to set the default text for Greek and Hebrew.


Mozilla FireFox 2.0 | Internet Explorer

note: The version of Internet Explorer installed on YDS public computers does not correctly display Polytonic Greek Unicode. It is recommended that FireFox is used.
