Mandrake also have a nice utility to add Windows fonts to your Linux. Debian
got a smart package to download fonts from MS and to install it. Why do
duplicate work?

Umm, to do hebrew for wine, you don't need much work actually, you can ask
the team that did the OS/2 hebrew support to give it to you. Same algoritms
with minor changes that were reflected on Windows 9x. But IMHO I would put
wine Hebrew efforts in the last priority (heck, you don't have there even
decent fonts support for any language)

Well Mati, as you can see, your list has been shrinking now ;)
