THE NEXT STEP
- Move to the directory in which you've saved this file and <RUN> it
from there. Click <Setup> and then <Install> (or <OK>,
depending upon which fonts you're installing).
- If no install option displays:
- Click on the Windows "Start" button at the very bottom
left of your monitor display
- Click on Settings => Control Panel => Fonts => File
- Make a note of the name of the new Hebrew font
- Select "Install new font" and follow the directions given
there to install this font in your Windows OS (operating system). When
you've completed this process, the Hebrew font is then accessible by
all programs which run under the Windows OS.
Now you need to select the Hebrew font in your programs – MS Explorer
browser and Outlook Express (or Outlook) – so they can find the fonts.
- MS Explorer:
- Click on Tools => Internet Options. Then click on the Fonts
button and select the Hebrew font. Then click on Ok => Apply =>
Ok.
- Close MS Explorer and run it again. Your Hebrew-English fonts are
now installed in MS Explorer
- MS Outlook Express:

Hebrew-English font is selected.
- Sending Hebrew in outgoing email:
- Click on Tools => Options => Compose. Then click on the
Fonts button and select the Hebrew-English font.
- Click on Tools => Options => Send. If you have an
"International" button click on it. In this window you

- You should now be able to display and transmit Hebrew letters
using the ASCII codes 128-154. While holding down the Alt key,
punch in a number in this range using your keypad; then let go of
the Alt key. A Hebrew letter should appear. You'll have to type
Hebrew words backwards since the computer understands the letters
LTR (left-to-right) but Hebrew is read RTL. *Frequent error:* the
numbers at the top of your keyboard won't work for this. Be sure
to use your keypad to punch in the numbers.
- To send Hebrew text, if prompted, send as Unicode.
- MS Outlook:
- Select Tools => Options => Mail Format.
- In the "Send in this message format" window, select
"HTML."
- Select International Options and, if available in the selection
list, select "Hebrew (Windows)" in both windows. (If it
isn't available, don't worry.)
- In the middle section, "Stationery and Fonts," click on
the "Fonts" button which will display three boxes. Select
"Globes" (or Web Hebrew AD or Elronet, depending on which
you've installed in your Windows OS) in all three boxes.
- Click on "International Fonts." In the bottom box, select
"Hebrew (Windows)" if available. (If it isn't available,
don't worry.)
- Click on "Set as default," then click on "OK."
