Hebrew Rashi script #4

Open r12a opened 7 years ago

[from @tomerm]

Rashi script is a semi-cursive typeface for the Hebrew alphabet. It is named for Rashi, an author of rabbinic commentary on the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the Talmud, and it is customarily used for printing his commentaries.

Very widely used in religious books.

As I understand it, "Rashi" letters do not define a separate script but just a font. There are exactly the same letters with the same names and the same forms (final and not final) in the Hebrew script and in text written with Rashi letters. Consequently, I suggest not having a separate issue for "Hebrew Rashi script", and possibly writing a requirement for a Rashi font when dealing with fonts.
