The Hebrew/Aramaic font used by Seminary's Essay File is SPTiberian; the Greek font used is SPIonic. These fonts are public domain fonts made available by Scholars Press, and may be freely downloaded. Both of these fonts are available here.

To download them, simply Right Click on the font name below and select "Save As..." from the context menu that appears. For installation instructions, see below.
