Vista Hebrew fonts: who has them?

Since all the Culmus fonts have CLM in them you can get the list as below.
You can also see the fonts at http://culmus.sourceforge.net/ .

You should also compare the various DejaVu  fonts, as I believe that most
fontconfig configurations just settle for them when using generic fonts like
"sans" and "serif".

Dov
