It's always nice to play with typography to make our Google Docs stand out.
The Extensis add-on to Google Docs can give you access to hundreds of new fonts.
(In any Google Doc, go to Add-ons, click "Get Add-ons", and search for Extensis. Select it, choose your account and click Allow.)
So how many of those fancy fonts work for Hebrew? About 15 - 20. (and no Rashi yet)
Check them out here. The page will show you what they look like.
(Here is a partial screenshot)
Or just search in Extensis for the following fonts:
Alef, Amatic SC, Arimo, Assistant, Bellefair, Cousine, David Libre, Frank Ruhl Libre, Heebo, Miriam Libre, Rubik, Secular One, Suez One, Tinos, Varela Round
[Cousine has weird spacing issues with the letter ו"ו, and Secular One and Suez One are bold poster-like fonts.]
To the above list I will also mention Cardo and Tahoma, which can be found in Extensis as well.
If you know of any more, please let me know in the comments.
I use Times New Roman, like it, for sure better than default Arial, can't stand it.
ReplyDeleteI have found that Alef is the most legible font for my students, and it has become my default by request.
ReplyDeletereally? it looks really disturbing! :)
