Hebrew fonts that handle nikud

What to know
For full nikud and taamim, start with Ezra SIL or SBL Hebrew. Those files were built for encoded biblical text.
Noto Sans Hebrew, Noto Serif Hebrew, and Noto Rashi Hebrew are the practical web choice when you need marks without a specialist Bible face.
Taamey Frank CLM is a Culmus Frank-style text with cantillation. Koren’s commercial Bible type is designed around pointed Tanakh pages.
Frank Ruhl Libre and David Libre cover everyday nikud better than display faces, but they are not a full taamim stack.
Always test in the real browser: combining marks, meteg, rafe, and multiple stacked points are where “partial” fonts fail.
Handwriting, Stam (Torah scrolls are unpointed), and poster faces such as Secular One or Karantina are the wrong tools for pointed text.
