\usepackage{ttfheb}

In you latex preamble (this enables the true-type fonts package). If you still want a better result get culmus-latex package from the Ivritex site. It’s a font package I help maintain that uses the Culmus fonts, which I find to have higher quality than the default true-type fonts.

So: this wasn’t a problem after all, and everything went well following your instructions. The only problem is that I still have fuzzy fonts using pdflatex via lyx (only in Hebrew).

If you have any advice, I would be glad to hear.

Thanks,

One thing that I couldn’t figure out: the python script, and the manual algorithm you’ve suggested as well, run a command named “ttf2tfm”.

I have ubuntu 7.04, and running that command (with root privileges) on terminal outputs “ttf2tfm: command not found”, and the python script outputs:
- Running ttf2tfm arialbd.ttf -O -N -T winheb2.enc -v tmp.vpl harialbd.tfm
- sh: ttf2tfm: not found
which kills the script, because right after that I get:
- IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘tmp.vpl’

I have seen the same command in other tutorials (including the one you based this article on), so I guess it is something crucial.

Any ideas what can cause that?

Thanks ahead,
Peleg.
