I am having the same problem with ? appearing instead of the hebrew characters in photoshop CS2. I tried the link above but it didn't work. Any other suggestions?
Dolores, the original poster said that she can get those fonts to work in InDesign and Quark. Any ideas how? I have those programs as well and in InDesign I also get question marks instead of hebrew lettering while Quark doesn't even recognize my hebrew fonts as an option.
Help?! I'm so frustrated with this. Thanks!

Only if she types backwards.

Yeah, that makes sense, to type things in backwards since the language runs right to left instead of left to right like english, but I can't do that because the correct characters don't display. All I get is question marks instead of hebrew letters.

Amy,
Please read post # 3 by one of Adobe's top font gurus:

Confirm that I cannot get Hebrew characters in my OpenType fonts to display in Photoshop. I'll pass this along to the Photoshop development team.

Would any of the fonts I mentioned in post #1 work for you?

Ah, so it's not just me, the fonts just aren't displaying in CS. Thank you!
To remedy my problem, I'm thinking about buying a set of hebrew fonts that the manufacturer, Davka claims works with all Macs in Quark. Obviously the wrong forum for this, but if anyone has knowledge of this product and can tell me if it's worked well for them, I'd appreciate it.

Amy,
Try posting this in the Typography forum. There are some smart people there that work with Hebrew. CLICK HERE <

You won't get a "better" answer there.
In terms of Davka's fonts, they will only "work" with Photoshop if they are masquerading as a font for an ASCII character, i.e., the "A" position is used by "aleph", "B" for "bet", etc. Call Davka and see whether that is indeed the case before ordering.

Thanks for responding so fast, Dov. :)

My understanding is that the fonts I mentioned above do behave this way, by impersonating. ;)
