Yes, but presumably when I encode transliterated Hebrew in Unicode and
the transliteration standard shows a glyph of a g with a line above it,
it would be more correct for me to encode as g with macron above rather
than g with macron below. Or should I go with the function and expect a
special transliteration font to do what I need? Probably the people who
should decide this are at SBL as they are the ones who specify this
transliteration. So I am copying John Hudson - John you may need to look
at the rest of the thread. (Does SBL have any plans for its own Hebrew
transliteration font, or does it expect regular Latin-based fonts to
support transliteration?)
