Vista Hebrew fonts: who has them?

I see your point. I compared Nachlieli with Arial and DejaVu and there
certainly are some problems both Nachlieli and DejaVu Sans in my opinion:

   - Both DejaVu and Nachlieli are thinner than Arial, which is not nice for
   screen reading.
   - Nachlieli has too short "chupchikim" in my opinion. Both for Lamed and
   for Mem.
   - The kerning of Dejavu needs some work.

As I might be 50% out of work in another two weeks, I might have a look at
some of the issues, like kerning... We'll see.

Regards,
Dov
