Re: Fonts



Hi!

It seems that your system aliases some of the fonts to "-adobe-", and
the real name is overriden. You don't find it, since you are looking
for "-adobe-", which is not defined by the Hebrew fonts. The real name
must be something with "-b&h-", since this is the only thing that is
overriden by the Hebrew fonts (all the other names, about 97%-98% of
the fonts, begin by "-hebrew-").

If this is not the problem, then it is really strange, and you must
be in touch with me in order to locate the exact reason of the problem.

BTW: Don't try to download files from my site now. My site was hosted
by Macom Tikshuv (Za"l, unfortunately), so now it moved from "under
construction" state to "under the ground" state  :-(
I hope to have my own connection *very* soon, so everything will be OK
back (including "marmor@elmar.co.il"!).
