Keyboard Map of SPTiberian, a public domain Hebrew/Aramaic font

Modification 02AUG96: add Masoretic multi-word abbrev, circules

Description: SPTiberian exists in both Macintosh and Windows 
versions, both with the same character and keyboard maps.  By 
design, all characters in the font lie between decimal 32 and 127 
(20x-7Fx, 040-0177), so they should transfer without problem over 
the Internet.  The font is designed to follow the Michigan-
Claremont encoding scheme (see http://scholar.cc.emory.edu/scripts 
/societies/RSN/Offline/off1.html#transliteration) to as great an 
extent as possible, though the vowel points have multiple forms to 
allow for proper placement with wide characters, narrow 
characters, and final kafs (and nuns).

The consonants are listed first in alphabetical order, followed by vowel
points and then by other signs.  Please note the distinction between upper
and lower case in "key to push"; all shifted keys are so indicated.  Also,
note that vowels that are designed for wide characters (most letters) are
all unshifted, whereas the corresponding vowels for narrow characters
(gimel, waw, zayin, yod, nun) are shifted.  Vowels that go with the final
kaf (and nun) are mostly mapped to numbers.  A few differences may exist
among keyboards for some shifted keys (e.g., is " shift-' or shift-2 ?),
so people with different keyboards will have to make the proper
adjustments.
