How to use the Accordance font in Logos
I've switched from Accordance to Logos, but I've been looking at Accordance fonts for 25 years, and anything else looks strange. The Accordance font is a unicode font, but it isn't available in the font list in your Logos preferences. However, you can access them through the Command Box on the desktop.
The commands are:
Set Greek Font to Accordance
Set Hebrew Font to Accordance
Once you enter the commands, the fonts will show up in your Logos Preferences. 
The font is available under an open license and is available here:
https://www.accordancebible.com/Accordance-Font/
Note: Both Hebrew and Greek fonts are contained in the single Accordance font.

This is a great hack!

Looks like there a spacing issue with the Accordance Hebrew font. I've attached some examples. So I wouldn't recommend the Accordance Hebrew font, but so far the Greek font looks good.
The spacing of the paseq is off:
And here, the paragraph marker spacing is off too:

Is that 1 Sam 14:36?
I don't read Hebrew, so I could be wrong, but it looks fine to me on Windows:
If you agree that this is what the text display should look like, I can open a bug report to investigate a platform-specific rendering problem on macOS.

Yes, that's 1 Sam. 14:36. And I can confirm that it looks fine to me.

Seems that it is a "font" issue vs a MacOS rendering issue. Logos default font renders the text correctly. Mark, I had to reinstall my OS last week so I don't presently have Accordance installed. Is my assumption that Accordance is rendering it correctly accurate?

Yes, Accordance is rendering it accurately. If I remember correctly, Accordance did some tweaking to the app itself to get the font to render correctly on the Mac. I'm betting that Logos can fix those issues in the font itself.

Today I found out that the Lexham Discourse New Testament does not take the user set font anymore, but other resources do use the set font.

This is fixed in 36.0 Beta 3: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/224536.aspx.
