I am interested in using hebrew as well. You seem much more advanced than I, can I ask you some questions? I am still at a beginning level. I have difficulty using my usual tools. I use emacs usually. Unfortunately emacs only shows me 'square boxes' when i open a file with hebrew in it. If however i do emacs -nw hebrew-file then it will open with hebrew text displayed (backwards :(). if i open emacs -fn heb10x20 hebrew-file i get No fonts match `heb10x20' emacs -fn heb8x13 hebrew-file it will display hebrew text (backwards of course) and not right justified like in gedit and kedit. I have been using gedit and kedit which seem to work, but they are not my choice editors... I see that you advocate xetex. Can you describe what you do to set your favorite hebrew writing environment? I see that Tzafrir likes vim. What do you think? Any good hints on using xetex?
