Hello!
First of all, thank you for the responses - while there is no absolute consensus, which would release me from the necessity to make the decision, many good points have been raised, and the whole picture is now much clearer. Below I will try to summarize your comments and suggestions, together with my responses.
Excellent process. I am confident that when we (the entire community) finally converge toward a solution, it will be good one.
1. A suggestion has been made to make two parallel sets of fonts: one to keep up with the current size, and another one to keep up with Windows. Sadly, this is something I can't do. The praised Windows has three different David fonts (you guessed right - having three different sizes) and four Miriams. I'm afraid that's too much. If I'm wrong in my stubbornness - somebody can create that additional set, and that would be the same except that its maintenance wouldn't be my headache.
In that case, in the MS-Word compatible variant of Culmus fonts, just follow whatever MS-Word 97 (or the most common MS-Word version used in Israel) is doing.
If anyone uses Word 2, Word 6, Word 95, Word 2000 or Word XP, then he'll have to deal with interchanging documents with Word 97 users anyway. This would cause OOo's headaches to be no different from MS-Word 97 headaches.
I would be glad to hear your comments, and I apologize for being absent during the entire holidays.
Best regards,
Maxim.
