There are installers for various flavors of Windows and for Macs.
It's a beautiful font that looks great in print. There is a SBL Hebrew and a SBL Greek, but we are just installing the combined font set known as SBL BibLit. Here's where we can thank the Society of Biblical Literature and the groups that supported the creation of high-quality Greek and Hebrew Unicode fonts. Cardo looks rather chunky in printed form, however, especially when used with a typical serif font like Times New Roman. Further, Google obtained the rights to Cardo, so it transfers nicely back/forth from Google Docs. It's also nice because it contains Hebrew, Greek, and every transliteration character and text critical mark. Beginning students like it because it is easy to read. It's kind of a 'big' font (the characters are wider than usual and have a high x-height), so it works well in projection. We moved to Unicode a few years ago, and at that time David Perry's free Cardo font was really the best choice.

(Dell Venue Pro 8) That's great, but it also means we are revisiting what we are doing with fonts and keyboards for working with the biblical languages.
