Dear Ken,

HH: Thanks. I tried to read the article, and some Hebrew letters are 
visible, but many of the language representations, probably 
transliterations, use unreadable symbols. There are a lot of question 
marks. Is there a font that I need to download to read the article 
more easily.

If I download it, do I just put it with the other fonts? Thanks in 
advance for your help if you recognize my problem.

                                Yours,
                                Harold Holmyard
