Introduction

This document enumerates all the scripts and typefaces that are used in Brill websites and whose fonts are pushed as web fonts in selected products (in .woff format; most .woff2 fonts have become available in 2021; .eot should be phased out). The first such product was THB: Textual History of the Bible. Provision is also made for the Dead Sea Scrolls texts (Paleo-Hebrew; Aramaic numbers).
Language codes are taken from the IANA Language Subtag Registry.
Script codes are taken from ISO 15924.

Please note that because Brill uses language-script tags exclusively for the practical purpose of triggering web fonts at the time of this writing (February of 2021), the language tags used are often artificial, as in the case of Aramaic text written in the ‘Hebrew’ square script: in order to simplify the tagging process, such text is tagged as ‘he-Hebr’, even though the language tag ‘he’ does not strictly apply to Aramaic, which was and is a language distinct from Hebrew. (Note also that there is no ‘general’ Aramaic language tag.) Therefore, no scholarly or scientific value is to be attached to Brill’s use of language tags. In fact, it is doubtful whether currently (2021) the ISO language tags could even be considered as usefully serving a broader scholarly or scientific purpose.
