Hebrew

The Hebrew alphabet is used for Hebrew (Biblical and modern), Aramaic (Talmud and other sources), Yiddish, Ladino, and a number of other Jewish languages. Here is the Israeli Hebrew keyboard from Debian Linux.

Fonts

Some Free TrueType and OpenType fonts provided with Linux distributions include Basic Hebrew (Letters, vowel points, Yiddish tsvey-vovn, vov-yod, tsvey-yodn). Some specialist fonts support Biblical Hebrew. Support for other Jewish languages is spotty. Rendering of pointed Hebrew and Yiddish is erratic in current software. Some non-Free fonts such as Code2000 and Everson Mono Unicode also support Basic Hebrew.
