    Question Unicode Hebrew --> CCAT / BW fonts?

    Does anyone have a tool to convert Unicode Hebrew (or Win-1255 encoding) to CCAT Hebrew encoding or BibleWorks Hebrew fonts? This would involve a large file, so a Word macro would not work.

    Thanks.

    Default Possible solutions?

    Great! We've all been working so hard to get everything to Unicode, and now you want to go back to CCAT/BWfonts! ;-o
    Anyway, some suggestions:
    1) GreekTranscoder - Will that work?
    2) SIL Converters - How about this?
    3) I'm not at my school computer, so I'm not sure about this one. Bibloi (aka Silver Mountain BibleWindows) had a two-way Unicode / SGreek converter, and I think the SGreek was connected to CCAT in some way.

    If #1 or 2 don't work, let me know, and I will check on #3 when I get a chance.

    Default Bibloi converter won't help

    Just checked, and the Bibloi converter won't help. It's two-way for the Greek (SGreek >< Unicode) but only one way (SHebrew > Unicode). SHebrew would still need another conversion step to get to CCAT...

    Default madness to my method

    I'm particularly interested in converting the Unicode version of the Aleppo Codex that's floating around on the web--at the very least for personal use, at most for public distribution as a BW module. I'll have to check out the legalities, etc. It is available for several free Bible software packages.
