Indeed. There's one "-b&h-" font overriden in the pack. All the other
fonts do start with "-hebrew-".

As I previously noted, I removed the "-b&h-" line in fonts.alias, thus
removing the overriding, and restarted the server. It didn't help.

I'd be thankful if you could help me solve it, but I'm not sure it's a
problem of your fontpack. I didn't notice this erroneous behaviour in any
program other than tkinfo (though I still haven't had the time to test 'em
all). I know neither Tcl nor Tk, so I can't really dig the source of
tkinfo, but examining the lines that contain "font", I can't see any
problem. I have no idea where else to look.

What else can I do? The only thing I can think of, is sending you two
partial screenshots (the famous "before" and "after"). How would that be?

Makom? Makom has gone bankrupt? That's a surprise. I remember them as one
of the biggest Web hosting companies in Israel. What happened?

You intend to buy a direct FR line to one of the ISPs, and set up a server
on your own?
