I'm curious what you don't like with the Culmus fonts that are standard in Linux distributions. Or with the Hebrew glyphs of DejaVu font for that matter. Is it font shape or kerning that is bothering you? Can you give an example? Regards, Dov 2009/6/12 Dotan Cohen dotanco...@gmail.com Windows

Use a header 301 redirect only! It moves pagerank to the new page. Don't use javascript or meta redirects. I used Redirect permanent. No luck there. Yes, that's a 301. What do you mean by no luck? Well, I didn't measure type-in, but in May this year, I had 1,843 hits for shlomifish.org

Since all the Culmus fonts have CLM in them you can get the list as below. You can also see the fonts at http://culmus.sourceforge.net/ . You should also compare the various DejaVu fonts, as I believe that most fontconfig configurations just settle for them when using generic fonts like sans and

I see your point. I compared Nachlieli with Arial and DejaVu and there certainly are some problems both Nachlieli and DejaVu Sans in my opinion: - Both DejaVu and Nachlieli are thinner than Arial, which is not nice for screen reading. - Nachlieli has too short chupchikim in my opinion.
