As was alluded to a few messages back, a Hebrew Type 1 font (version
1.1.2 of Shalom Old Style) is available under the fonts subdirectory
of ftp.cica.indiana.edu, in the file SHALOOLD.ZIP. Note however, that
this font does not use the standard IBM-PC encoding of Hebrew
(characters 128-157), but rather maps the Hebrew characters onto the
range 33-126. Thus this font is more appropriate for using Hebrew in
English-language applications, rather than for use with Hebrew
applications. There are various ways to get around this if you are
using a full postscript interpreter (the topic of font reeencoding
comes up periodically in comp.lang.postscript), but I don't know about
Deskview/X.
