Shalom is a type 3 public domain Hebrew PostScript font written by Jonathan Brecher. It is available from ymir.claremont.edu in [anonymous.tex.babel.hebrew.fonts-ps-shalom]. Included is a PL file which can be converted into a TFM for use with TeX. The files were FTP'd from shum.huji.ac.il on 22-May-1991. The following is quoted from a message to ivritex: >...we have "discovered" a public domain type 3 >Hebrew PostScript font, written by Jonathen Brecher - >brecher@husc9.harvard.edu >The author has called his font "Shalom". >This was originally written using a Mac, and it contains three styles- >"old fashioned" letters, Ktav letters and "narrow" letters, >as well as Nikud. The font seems a little problematic, that is, >work has to be done in order to make it usable to all. >I am trying to do the work - it might take a month or so. -dh Don Hosek | To retrieve files from ymir via the mailserver, dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu | send a message to mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu Quixote Digital Typography | with a line saying send [DIRECTORY]FILENAME 714-625-0147 | where DIRECTORY is the FTP directory (sans ---------------------------+ "anonymous") and FILENAME is the filename, e.g. "send [tex]00readme.txt". There is a list of files in each directory under the name 00files.txt. Binary files are not available by this technique.
