4. Choose Hermon (or any other Hebrew font you
prefer).
5. Close the Views control panel.
Most Hebrew application programs display Hebrew correctly after
you install the Hebrew Language Kit. Follow the instructions in
Chapter 3 to designate Hebrew as the language for your Hebrew
program.
v Note: If your computer’s primary language uses the Roman
character set, but is not English, specifying a Hebrew font in
the Views control panel may cause some difficulties in reading
file and folder names that use Roman characters. This is
because the Hebrew fonts do not contain umlauts, accents,
and some other non-English Roman characters and
symbols. v
If you have more than one language kit installed, you may want to
continue using the Geneva font, since a Hebrew font will not
contain the characters for other language kits.
Displaying Hebrew filenames correctly
If you have files and folders with Hebrew names on your compu-
ter, you may find that your system can’t correctly display these
Hebrew names. This can happen if the font your system currently
uses for file and folder names is not appropriate for Hebrew.
For example, many people use the Geneva font for file and folder
names, but Geneva contains only characters for English and other
languages that use the Roman character set (such as French,
Spanish, and German).
The Hermon font installed with the Hebrew Language Kit con-
tains Hebrew characters as well as the most commonly used
Roman characters. You can view Hebrew file and folder names
correctly by setting the Views control panel to Hermon.
Follow these steps to set the Views control panel:
1. Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu.
2. Open the Views control panel.
3. Press the “Font for views” pop-up menu.
