Definitely. If you tried my "experiment" with examples from these or
other Hebrew fonts, people would have no trouble reading them. Even
Rashi script with non-Rashi-educated Hebrew-speakers; maybe they'd have
some trouble, but they'd be able to make out some/most letters (Rashi
script is probably a lot easier for a Square-Hebrew reader than
SÃtterlin is for a Times-Roman reader).
