A kind list member has advised privately that CAL does now use
Unicode for Syriac text.

I must not have been looking in the right places.

From this page,
http://cal1.cn.huc.edu/fonts/fontinfo.html

"Most of our Aramaic text display is now done in Unicode,
for which see our page hebunicodeinfo.html

     "However, m any of the bibliographic, dictionary, and
     newsletter reference pages displayed on this site still
     use a transliteration font ("CalSemitic") and a Jewish
     Aramaic font ("WebHebrew AD" or "CalWebHebrew"). ..."

It's nice to see a transition to Unicode and it's comforting to
see that Unicode Syriac is used rather than Unicode Hebrew
to store and display Syriac text.

Best regards,

James Kass
