We're updating our white lists of Greek and Hebrew fonts that show up in the drop-down menu in the settings panel.

Phil Gons (Faithlife):full support for all the characters
I have a different opinion and I use a font with a limited character set that drops off most diacritics etc.
At the same time I want to have an "ancient look" font with capital letters.
Probably no one agrees with me, but this is just food for thought, please enjoy!

+1 more for Gentium and SBL Hebrew!
EDIT: I know I am in the minority, but I also REALLY like the Greek font used for the UBS 4th edition. Don't remember what it is called off the top of my head, but I don't believe it is legally available for free.
Phil Gons (Faithlife):What fonts do you use for Greek and Hebrew?

Guess I too am a Gentium SBL Hebrew kinda guy

I always use Gentium.
I presume by whitelisting, you're talking about allowing us to choose fonts we have installed, rather than bundling additional fonts. Other fonts you should whitelist definitely include Cardo (Greek and Hebrew).
But there are dozens of other fonts that support Polytonic Greek (TypeKit lists 52 families), which you could certainly whitelist. Just from the major foundries:
Then in Hebrew you have:
I suspect there's more than that. There's also the many free fonts from the Greek Font Society, of course.
Not all these fonts support marks such as ⸂, ⸀, ⸁, etc. I presume that's OK.
I prefer reading Greek in Gentium. It is a nice clean font. Hebrew is more problematic. SBL Hebrew is alright but on balance I prefer Ezra SIL.
For academic writing I prefer Palatino Linotype.
Every blessing

I agree! It would be great to have fonts that cover different scripts, such as those found in Proto-Hebrew, the Samaritan Pentateuch, even a Modern Hebrew "cursive" font, if one is available (to add a few examples to Veli's Greek Uncials). Paired with audio and knowledge of Greek and Hebrew, they can help anyone get up to speed in reading from facsimiles and actual images of manuscripts (MSS) and other inscriptions, which can be more difficult to initially practice on when many are aged, faded, and even fragmentary. Navigation of images can sometimes be slow and cumbersome as well, depending on the sources. It also allows one to practice while reading from various editions.
I've seen some lists of fonts but have to do more investigation myself (as to quality, standard, etc.). Unfortunately, there are some nice fonts that apparently still do not use Unicode.

Phil, in answer your first question, I tend to use SBL's fonts: SBL Greek, SBL Hebrew, and BibLit, and secondarily the SIL fonts. I've also used Gentium in the past, although it's been quite some time.
SBL BibLit.
But while I have your attention .....
How about allowing RIGHT CLICK on resource word brings up FONT option. Clicking on this allows us to know what font is the default (What Logos is looking for) and a list of other recommended (and not recommended) fonts?
Sometimes I like to experiment (temporarily) with handwritten Hebrew fonts.
