Maxim produced the Culmus fonts using a program called PfaEdit, which can also emit TrueType fonts. So the simple solution, at least for the period until Sun releases its fonts, is to ask Maxim to generate .TTF versions of his fonts.
Another option, which will probably produce better on-screen results, is to get the Microsoft Core Fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, etc.) from corefonts.sourceforge.net. MS used to distribute them freely with a license that allows online redistribution. MS stopped distributing them, but somebody continues (legally) under the provisions of the MS license.

The Hebrew fonts that come with RH9 (and the newest culmus fonts), all are in Type1 format (.pfa files + .afm files). (found under /usr/share/fonts/hebrew/) According to OpenOffice.org (http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/fontguide.html), these kind of fonts are supposed to be acceptable, but it seems that the spadmin uses a " .ttf " filter, and I can't load the above fonts.
Any ideas?

P.S. Thanks for all the help so far :)

What about the Hebrew fonts that come with RH9 (culmus)?Hi Yechiel, To use OOo for Hebrew on RedHat Linux you need to do (at least) two things:
1. Fonts
You need to install Hebrew fonts using the program/spadmin tool. You can
purchase your own fonts or find free fonts at present.
