The only Hebrew font from Adobe is Adobe Hebrew that is packaged with Acrobat and Reader. It is more compatible with Minion (not minyan :-) ) than with a san serif such as Frutiger. If you license the "ME" version of InDesign (not available directly from Adobe, but via Winsoft), you also get a bundle of OpenType fonts supporting Hebrew. Ironically, a number of the TrueType fonts that come with Windows, including Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New, and Microsoft Sans include Hebrew characters in their support of Unicode. (The Macintosh versions of these fonts do not support Hebrew!) If you enable Hebrew support in Windows, some other fonts are also made available such as David. There are companies, such as FontWorld, that do offer extensive collections of Hebrew fonts or fonts with Hebrew characters. - Dov
