Studying theology and using Linux is proving to be a road filled with challenges. I have created a (complete) variant for the il-layout which includes all characters needed to type Old-Testament Hebrew. The variant was designed by Tiro (the same people who designed the SBL Hebrew font) and I took that specification and entered it into a symbols file. Attached are the modified symbols-file (symbols/il) along with the modified symbols.lst, rules/base.lst, rules/base.xml in the tarball. Also a .diff is attached which contains the patch of the four files as needed on the X.org X Window System Version 6.9.0. My wish is that this layout will become integrated into the main tree of the X-Server. The primary differences to the standard hebrew layout (basic or si1452) are documented briefly in the symbols file (symbols/il).
