Hmm, A Sinaiticus font is already available on the net, but yours
should be fun to check out as well. There's that Qumran font from
the fellow in Germany, but it has a very strange character mapping.
I look forward to seeing yours.

About the only improvement I can see would be to use a consistent
mapping for the Hebrew characters. I noticed that the Lachish font,
for example, has Aleph on the ) character (standard CCAT), while the
Moabite has it on a. It would be nice to be able to switch between
them without having to change mappings. Otherwise, they look great.
