I have just read the thread about the support of hebrew fonts but this thread was writen in 2001 - three years ago. I would find it hard to believe that after three years Hebrew is still not supported! Does anyone have any more information on this topic Vmarks, Big Mac or nachoman??

Why not turn on 10.3's hebrew keyboard menu and start typing away?

It's amazing the answers a little bit of effort will yield.
You heard me! Sod off, Sadr!

Yep, works fine for me. What problems are you having with Hebrew font support, Zashraf?

I don't think Word doesn't do Hebrew - even in office 2004.

apparently OOo is an option:

That's Microsoft's damage. They can't seem to get around to properly internationalizing Word. Word v. X didn't have any Unicode support at all. Word 2004 has Unicode support, but still won't do what you want it to do because it doesn't support right-to-left flowing text. If I can make a recommendation, though, Mellel is a Word processor that was designed specifically to handle Hebrew since Microsoft doesn't seem up to the task. You may want to take a look at that.
