The Hebrew "alephbet" has
changed quite a bit over the millenniums. From the
earliest pictographs to the most recent modern fonts, it has
progressed quite beautifully! Of course most of us have
never seen the earliest Hebrew prior to Paleo-Hebrew, which was
identical with that of what we today call the Phoenician
alephbet. From the graphics created by those at the
Ancient Hebrew Research Center, I have created a font
specifically for the earliest Hebrew, what I call Picto Hebrew.
This font is freeware and may be
distributed as is and at no cost. It also soon will be
featured at the Ancient Hebrew Research Center when they
redesign their site here shortly. We thank them for
including credit to us for this font on their new design, as we
hadn't even asked for that. May God bless you all!

Both
fonts are pretty similar and use the same font map. There
are some noticeable differences, but when trying to make a
graphic of the Early Hebrew font set, some of the characters did
not show well, though they show fine when using it for regular
text. Otherwise, the early Aramaic and early Hebrew were
not that different.

This version of Hebrew does use final
letters (kaf, mem, nun, and phe sofit) but does not include
tzade sofit which was not used till later.
