[HANASHIR:5816] RE: Hebrew/English WP for Mac?

[David Weisz <dweisz...>]

I must say, my best experience so far has been to simply use a Hebrew font
that goes directly into a standard word processor. I actually have a
shareware program for IBM that will allow you type from right to left, and
then you simply copy the text from that program to your word processor. At
this point, I've become proficient enough in the use of the font that I can
touch type with it at about 15-20 words a minute...not super fast by any
menas, but not bad for someone with about 2 semesters of Hebrew knowledge!

I know that such fonts exist for Mac (I've spent a long time using them),
but I'm not sure if the Right-2-Left program exists as well for Mac.
Nonetheless, if all you're interested in doing is making songsheets, this
may be the way to go.
