Greetings --

I have a friend who's a librarian for whom I'm trying to prepare a 
chart showing the Hebrew alphabet in as wide a variety of fonts as 
possible, to help her in transliterating titles and so on from books 
in the library. Often the title page fonts are quite stylized, making 
"pattern recognition" difficult.

(1) Do you know of any such chart already in existence, online or elsewhere?

(2) Can you suggest web pages with charts for particular fonts 
already made up -- such as these two, which aren't particularly 
stylized but do offer a bit of variation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_alphabet

(3) If anyone out there uses HebraicaII font, can you tell me where 
these letters are?  I'm trying to make my own chart using the Hebrew 
fonts I find on my computer, and several of them are really a 
challenge since I don't use them or have keyboard layouts: het/chet, 
final kaf, final mem, final nun, final peh/feh, final tsadi.

(4) Do you have any other suggestions for how I might help my friend 
decipher Hebrew fonts?  She does not know Hebrew, and is just trying 
to be a little more independent in her job, not having to go running 
to the Hebrew experts for every little thing.

THANKS!!

Susan Jeffers
