Hebrew Fonts

Did you try Davka?

try fontyukle.net -they have tons of free downloadable fonts-please make sure you are norton’ed

Myfonts.com has a very nice Frank Ruehl Hebrew for just $25 – I have some others, too, on my computer upstairs.

Some are free – particularly if you have Microsoft Windows already, I believe you can use any of the Hebrew fonts that come with Hebrew Windows, many of which were designed by Shmuel Guttman, whom I once had the honor of working with.

i don’t have nikud but in windows 7 word 2010 most of the fonts work fine – are you having problem in word or just in nikud?

i think the font is jumping out of frank ruehl and giving you times new roman or arial when you hit the alt, highlight the whole area and make it complex fonts frank ruehl, that should get rid of the weirdo characters. now when you print to pdf and get weird characters, try to use save as in word, and save it as a pdf, see if it is still weird chards. You might give Cardo a try,

Good Luck!

The reason the bold letters look corrupted in the PDF is that the fonts do not have a true bold face. When you bold a font in Word (that doesn’t have separate bold face installed), Word bolds it by outlining the letters, thus messing it up in the PDF. Most quality fonts contain separate faces for bold (which Word automatically uses when you choose to bold the font) and those will work properly.

I am not aware offhand of fonts containing nikud which have the separate bold faces. There is a good font with nikud called Ezra SIL, but it doesn’t have a bold face.

The problem is that for most of these Hebrew fonts there is no bold font — they only come in one face.

Fontpark and fontyukle have Frankruehl bold.
