Leonid,
I ran this by some of my friends who are active in Jewish music
circles, both secular and religious, and they said that ALL the music
that they normally use has transliterated lyrics. In some cases,
particularly for folk singers (and for some cantors(!)) they include
the lyrics in Hebrew alphabet, generally at the bottom of the page,
divided into stanzas.
I have done enough transliterated Hebrew lyrics to know that there are
several standards in use, so be careful to be consistent.

Hello,
I need to write a lyrics in Hebrew.
Which font can be used for such task, I mean Hebrew font with points.
I'm on FinWin 2004b.
I have an acquaintance who is Jewish and composes in Hebrew, and I
will ask him afresh. A fundamental problem for Hebrew lyrics in
music is that the music scans left to right but Hebrew writing scans
right to left. Unless I am mistaken, my acquaintance solves the
problem by using transliteration, using the approximate English
language equivalents for the Hebrew syllables.
