For those of us looking for TTF fonts with Hebrew support and no
dependency on license for Microsoft products, the Sun JDK has TTF fonts
which contain glyphs for Hebrew. I have checked the fonts in JDK 1.4: it
contains 8 fonts, all variants of the Lucida family, some with bold or
italic style. The Hebrew glyphs are not great, IMHO, but they are not so
bad either.
The fonts have glyphs for Hebrew points (nikud), but most of them display
the points under the consonants shifted to the right, and truncate the
lowest part of these points. Lucida Bright is the best of them, and does
quite a good job with points, except for Holam which takes too much
horizontal space.
Appreciation of fonts is quite subjective. You will want to check for
yourself.
