Thanks. I will try to move the fonts over from Ety's winbox over to
Fedora. The downloadable fonts don't help me much, because they do not
include Hebrew characters. But her Windows install came with them.

Actually, I am using Tehoma at the moment, which is in my opinion the
easiest to read. But I do believe that this is a true-type font.
