<!--
    Syriac has three different script styles which correspond to three different
    font representations in the form of Estrangelo, Serto, and East Syriac.

    It is difficult to put these fonts in any order as different speakers will
    gravitate towards a familiar script style.

    The OpenType Meltho fonts (http://bethmardutho.org/meltho/) provide complete
    coverage for Syriac. Please use the font names to substitute your default in
    place of preferred_syriac_font.

  <!-- Font sizing -->
  <!-- 
    Syriac letters have a smaller body relative to the diacritics above and 
    below them, as such the most common elements are smaller to others.
    Because the height of the fonts needs to fit within the body size,
    Syriac looks smaller than latin at the same point size.
    
    Default is 28 pixels / 21 points
