I don't know any Hebrew at all, but the character set was small enough for me to map them to their Unicode equivalents. If you go to this page: http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/wpdos/arabicandhebrew.html#hebrewpspdf and download my WP51HEPS.EXE you will find an .ALL file named WP51HEPS.ALL. There are character maps in that file that map the WP Hebrew characters to the glyphs in the PostScript fonts also included in the file. As you'll see, these are mapped either to their Adobe "afii" numbers (easily converted to unicode) or their unicode numbers. There are, if I remember correctly, three characters that aren't directly matched. A Hebrew scholar told me that three characters in the WP Hebrew set are "ghosts" - that is, they were combinations of a consonant and vowel markings that in fact never occur in any real Hebrew text. I don't remember what they are, but I think I tried to find some way to create them by combining real unicode/Adobe characters, just to be complete. Please let me know if I can clarify this further. It's been a few years since I did this. I made a start on Arabic, but the task was too complex and there seemed to be too few users who cared.
