Hi Shimi,
I have those fonts installed:
kfir at goofy ~ $ eix corefonts
[I] media-fonts/corefonts
     Available versions:  1-r4 (~)1-r5 (~)1-r6 {X}
     Installed versions:  1-r6(20:39:13 08/07/11)(X)
     Homepage:            http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/
     Description:         Microsoft's TrueType core fonts

Some hebrew fonts are showing in the document.
Is it possible to change the pdf, to use just one font, and then I'll search
for one that works?
The fonts of corefonts are in lower case: arial.ttf arialbd.ttf...
My pdf document shows Arial. Is it case sensitive?

Regards,
Kfir
