Hi Scott, First, thanks. I was aware to this website and many others which I tried to follow.
It seems like a more intrinsic issue here, as the same document worked fine previously, and on a new system it lacks something (and all other documents with Hebrew text using culmus). Writing documents in pure English works perfect, including numerical symbols. The document attached (originally) was already configured with the appropriate encoding and language. Regards, Moti.
