Title: Re: [b-hebrew] Unicode Hebrew fonts



What seems to be the problem?

I have the English versions of Windows XP and Office XP, and I installed, read and write Hebrew fonts which are packaged with the Windows program without any difficulty. Likewise other Semitic fonts (Syriac Estrangelo Edessa and Arabic fonts are included in the Windows program).

Sincerely,

I could read the message very clearly on my iMac, though the Hebrew was a little bit tiny. The font in which i received the Hebrew was Ariel. But I think that we should wait until unicode is available on the Mac, Linux etc., before starting using it on th e list.
