Greetings,<br>
<br>
In the past year I have been working a lot on LaTeX Hebrew support,
and am currently completing a package that provides native support
-- including "nikud" -- for the Culmus fonts under either LaTeX or
PdfLaTeX. Note that at the present, users who need nikud must
either use some semi-old, Type-3-based support packages (mostly
culmus-latex) that are available on SourceForge (but not on CTAN),
or alternatively switch to XeLaTeX, which entails both advantages
and disadvantages.<br>
<i><br>
</i>I will be in Israel from August 5 to August 22, and will be glad
to give a lecture on both the technical and cultural aspects of
using Nikud under Linux and LaTeX. If interested, please contact me
via email at the above address.<br>
<br>
Have a great week, and I'll look forward to hearing from you!<br>
<br>
Zvi<br>
