The problem is that although the English text is displayed in a font that is completely legible, the Hebrew text is hard to read. (I think this is partly because the letters in the Hebrew alphabet tend to be more easily confused with each other than the letters in the Latin alphabet, and also because even though the point-size of the Hebrew font is presumably the same as the English font, the letters in the Hebrew text give the impression of being smaller in size than the English text.) So, I'd like to arrange it so that both the English and the Hebrew text are equally legible, but haven't the slightest idea of how to accomplish that. -- Will
