So maybe Ubuntu is doing something that breaks them. Or maybe you're just not used to them (seems that the first reaction to a font style you never encountered is always negative¹). Anyway if you have specific complaints about DejaVu Hebrew don't hesitate to report them on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=DejaVu , https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dejavu-fonts or #dejavu. There is still room to get fixes in before next release. Especially is the bug report is detailed². ¹ cf the numerous "Arial is abismal, no way people will accept it instead of Helvetica" rants when Arial was first introduced in Windows ² Unless your problem is just the font is different from Arial – DejaVu never pretended to be an Arial clone, and it's not there to replicate it. -- Nicolas Mailhot
