Bad Khaf looks like a Beth or Nun -- please change Hebrew font!

Immortal Dandruff 6 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 6 years ago 1

What font is that?<br>

The Khaf in that font looks too much like a Beth or Nun.  Therefore Khaf must have a rounded bottom corner.

Anyhow please tell me what font it is so I may avoid it in personal use!!

nstampler 6 years ago updated by shmuelsash 5 years ago 2

I'd like to use the Hebcal REST API to query for a specific day, not for an entire month.  Is that possible?  

Answer

not yet. Our current API only supports query by full year or year + month

Any way of getting the script as Hebrew and Russian. Let me know!?

Developing a website in Russian...

Answer
Michael J. Radwin 6 years ago

Thanks for the clarification.

Actually, we haven't updated those APIs for any language, including Russian.


You might be able to query the Hebcal Events JSON API via JavaScript to be able to get what you're looking for. Here's an example URL that will pull the Hebrew date for every day for the current month. 

https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal/?v=1&cfg=json&year=now&month=now&lg=ru&d=on

This isn't an easy API to consume - you would have to scan the items in the results and find the one that matched today and then extract out the title.

A better approach might be to query the date converter API from JavaScript as such

https://www.hebcal.com/converter/?cfg=json

And then render the date in Russian using your own translation map (for example showing "Нисан" instead of "Nisan")
