Logos has Arial Unicode MS for Greek, but no Unicode font for Hebrew.
Is there a reason why Logos does not have a Unicode font for Biblical Hebrew?
We recommend the SBL Hebrew font.
Thanks.
That is what I use, but this doesn’t really answer my question.
Can you restate the question? I'm not sure what you're trying to ask.
Logos has Arial Unicode MS for Greek
The Arial Unicode MS font was, as the name suggests, produced by Microsoft. Logos doesn't have a license to redistribute that font, so I'm not sure in what sense Logos "has" that font for Greek.
Arial Unicode MS is one of the font choices for Greek you can select in Logos.
But there is no Unicode font choice in Logos for Hebrew. My question is, why isn’t there?

Hi Eric, since some years now Logos does not give us fonts - the font choices simply show the Unicode fonts installed on your system. If you don't have a font, simply install one - there are free choices out in the web. Here's the list I have:
All the font choices shown under "Hebrew Font" in Program Settings are Unicode fonts. Logos uses only Unicode fonts for display of text in resources (and the program UI). Non-Unicode fonts are not supported.
(Fonts do not need to have "Unicode" in the name to be Unicode fonts. In fact, "Arial Unicode MS" and "Lucida Sans Unicode" are the only fonts I can think of that do have Unicode in their name. Virtually every other font nowadays is a Unicode font; 8-bit fonts are vanishingly rare.)
