[HANASHIR:5834] heb/eng wp for mac

[Erik L. F. Contzius <contzius...>]

bar none, the best is Nisus Writer. you can try version 4.1.6 from 
their website (www.nisus.com); and it's free! not a dime. you won't 
be able to use hebrew until you upgrade/purchase ver. 5, though. i've 
been using it for years. great transliterated keyboard, very straight 
forward. much better than any davka/dagesh product.

for fonts, i purchase mine from martin l. deutch in brooklyn. best 
fonts around, great kerning pairs. but with system 9, you don't need 
to purchase any hebrew fonts, nor do you need any additional word 
processors. Simple Text will work fine & the hebrew system COMES WITH 
SYS. 9! it's FREE! has several usable fonts.

btw, appleworks is also compatible with the hebrew system on sys. 9. 
any system less than 9 requires the hebrew language kit (an 
additional $129--it's actually cheaper just to get sys. 9).
