b-Greekers;
There is a lot of info on the web about Syriac and much of it has to do with
NT studies. Syriac itself, as a language, is deeply indebted to Greek and
there is a historical as well as theological connection. For all those
interested in Syriac fonts, I hope the following is helpful.

I know they have Syriac fonts in Mac format (both TT & PS); they have
been converting their many fonts to Windows TT format recently so they
may have that available also.
