 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rossell here for today's video. I am going to be downloading, showing how to download and make graphics using the Paleo Hebrew font. I'm going to be kind of repeating a little bit of info. I did a video before on how to download Paleo Hebrew to your computer. So it's going to be a bit of repetition there because that's going to be the first stage of the process. And then I'm just going to show how you can use that font in a graphic design program. Now I'm using Linux as my operating system, so I'm going to be using a graphic design program called GIMP. If you're on Windows, just follow along this process, but slightly different steps, downloading a TTF, which is TrueType font. And then you can use GIMP on Windows or if you're using Photoshop, it should be in your font options. So just ignore the Linux specific stuff if you're on Windows or Mac for that matter. Paleo Hebrew, just for a quick intro, it's fascinating. It's a form of Hebrew that predominated until a certain point in time in ancient Israel, we're talking about in literally the times of the Bible. And at some point it was replaced by the familiar block lettering script we're used to today called Katav Ashurit. Paleo Hebrew doesn't refer to one script, but it refers to a series of alphabets that went through kind of an evolution. There's lots of information about this online, including the Paleo Hebrew that was extant at different historical periods. Paleo Hebrew called in Hebrew Katav Ivory isn't used anymore in modern Israel or in the Jewish world for that matter. I wouldn't say I'm trying to bring it back. Excuse me, that was a laugh that sort of ended up with me almost choking. I wouldn't say I'm trying to bring it back. That was supposed to be a joke, but I do take interest in it. And I think a lot of people are also interested in it. It's very much bridges the connection between the ancient civilization that existed in this part of the world in Israel and the state of Israel today. So intros aside, first thing you want to do is download the font. So I plugged into my search engine, Paleo Hebrew TTF, and I found a bunch of different Paleo fonts. I'm just going to go with the first one here, Paleo Hebrew. I'm going to get a little zip file download to my computer. This is from a website called bibleplaces.com. So thank you, Bible Places. You can also download it from Hebrew font.net if you prefer. They've got a few Paleo fonts as well. So let me just pause the video here while I unzip the download and install the font onto my computer. All right, so I've gone ahead there and unzipped the zip file. And as you can see, I got a single file called Paleo Hebrew dot TTF. As I've already said a couple of times, TTF stands for tree type font. It's a very common font format. And now I'm going to open up my font management program in Ubuntu Linux, and I'm going to install it into my operating system. Okay, so this is a nice little utility called font manager that exists for people like me crazy enough to use Linux day to day. As you can see, I've already installed 37 fonts, mostly Google fonts from the internet. So now I'm just going to drag and drop. I'm going to have to move this actually out of my screen. For a second, I'm going to drag and drop this in. There we go. And now this means that it's kind of installing the font. And now it has installed because what was 37 is now 38. And if you go down to P, we should find Paleo Hebrew. There it is. And you can see this is a pretty common version of Paleo Hebrew. And we can actually go through character by character to see all the different glyphs. Now I used to know how to read this pretty well. But I've got a bit rusty. I do know that that's a Dallas. And race looks actually quite similar to Dallas. In any event, this is ratio, because I know my initials in Hebrew, Daniel Russell, or DR, this one, and then this one, the letters are very similar, much as they are similar in modern Hebrew, they're just different looking in the Paleo font. So now this this is installed onto my operating system. I can load up any program and it should be there. So for today's graphic, I'm going to be opening up GIMP, which is a open source image editor. So let's open up that and see if we can find our Paleo font. Okay, so just to demonstrate something I might want to do in GIMP, this is kind of a template I use sometimes when I'm designing lower thirds for my YouTube videos, I just create a transparent 1920 by 1080 pixel-sized canvas, drop in a bit of foreground in a color, and then I write something. So this is just purely for demonstration purposes. I'm going to just type a few random letters, and then I'm going to go into my text option here, and I'm going to have to do a little bit of scrolling to get up to P aluminum P. Hopefully I just passed it there. And there we go, Paleo Hebrew. So now it's going to automatically convert attempt to match the Unicode characters. In other words, whatever is mapped onto S is going to change to that character in Paleo, and whatever is attached to D is going to map onto that character. And there's a keyboard map as well, which you can call up if you want to see. So for instance, this is the Dalit, and it's actually matched onto I think where the Dalit is on the regular keyboard. This is the Dallas character. I've been entering four times there. And yeah, there we go. Raich is actually where Raich is on the modern Hebrew keyboard, is going to say Raich. So this is Dalit, Dalit, as they'd say in Paleo Hebrew, and this is Raich in Paleo characters. And of course, this is just one image program I'm using GIMP. You can also use Open Source World and Linux Inkscape for creating vectors, vector based images, which can be scaled up to huge sizes when you're printing without loss in quality size. If you're interested in the very niche but interesting world of Paleo Hebrew, I hope this video has been useful to you.
