Good places for Hebrew fonts

[Dov Grobgeld]

Probably the encoding. Open up the font in FontForge and you can both see
how the font is encoded and change its encoding to "unicode" (actually
10646). The way fontconfig works under Linux is like linking of an
executable through ld. The first font that provides the requested range gets
to provide the glyph, otherwise it falls back to the next font, and so on.
So in your case I guess that the Rashi font did not provide the code points
for the Hebrew glyphs in the right positions, so it fell through to the next
font that fontconfig is configured to use.

Dov
