I am a Hebrew user, and I know how to use the "default" Hebrew font, which I guess comes from the culmus package (ivritex on linux), but that package contains many other fonts (according to the culmus site) which I would like to use, and I don't know how to get lyx or latex to use them.
You can mark paragraphs or words with a "sans serif" or "typewriter" font in lyx, and get a different Hebrew font for the paragraph or word, but I would like to do so for the entire document via a font selection command in the preamble. For this I would need the font names, font family names, and to know what commands to issue in the preamble, etc. Documentation for this exists for usage of Latin fonts in latex, so I would need an answer from someone who is actually using the "other" non-default culmus fonts successfully. The other way, which I will resort to when I have time, is look at the installation directories themselves and see what is there, but if someone can make this shortcut for me I would appreciate it. I would also like to know if someone has successfully installed the true-type hebrew fonts to use with pdftex on Windows, since the procedure on the lyx wiki page has failed for me. Thanks Georg for the reply. Miki
