Would you suggest testing Hebrew documents with FreeSerif for Roman, FreeSans for sans, and FreeMono for typewriter? I think the reason why I supported using FreeSans for all three was because I wanted to simplify things as much as possible. In particular, I was worried about the case where Freesans contains a glyph but FreeMono does not. I do not have a preference though and using the other Free variants is indeed more realistic, and I think this is what Kornel wanted to do before anyway. Scott
