It does #2 and #5 as well. Just enabling font embedding is not enough--you have to make the Hebrew fonts available to GhostScript.
Here is the relevant stuff from one of my previous posts: 1. Look at the Fonts-HOWTO. Note that the instructions in the Fonts-HOWTO (specifically,this page-- http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Font-HOWTO/x346.html) are for an outdated version of ttf2pt1. The line in the Perl script that reads: open ( R, "sh -c \"ttf2pt1 -A $fontname - 2>/dev/null\" |" ); Should be changed to: open ( R, "sh -c \"ttf2pt1 -GAf $fontname - \" |" ); If it doesn't work, make sure that you have ttf2pt1. 2. In my installation (gs 7.05.5 on Gentoo 1.2), the GhostScript Fontmap file is not in the GhostScript search path. (The last few lines of output from gs -h tell you what the search path is.) I moved Fontmap to /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts (which IS in the search path). Now when I do gs prfont.ps, and then /ArialMT DoFont (at the GS prompt), it shows me the contents of arial.ttf. So far, so good. 3. Enable font embedding in the KWord print dialog (actually, you have to click the Options button and enable it in the Options dialog).
