What you mean by 
> The hebrew fonts are ISO-8859-8 compatible. 
? 

I.e. do you mean that they _fully_ conforms ISO-8859-8 standard  
or some positions are different or not implemented? 
We need standard fully conformant fonts only and not local hacks. 
If your fonts differs from ISO-8859-8 somehow, please fix them and re-submit.
Comment 2 allow 2000-08-27 18:54:05 UTC
The fonts conforms ISO-8859-8 standard, as far as I know, and they are
similar to the fonts used to be burned in the old pcs bioses, which had
built-in hebrew support. The keymap remaps all the hebrew symbols on the
keyboard, but not a phonetic keyboard (which is rarly used in israel), but
the more common keyboard layout.
Anyway I gave the fonts to some of my friends for testing them, and got
only good responses.

Thanks, 
Allow.
