I don't remember everything that I did, but I could never type. Even cut and paste would leave ???'s. I did manage to get a Hebrew installation of Office working properly. I think that was with Crossover Offive 4.x, but even with CX I could not type in IE. Which is horrible because so many Hebrew sites require IE (walla mail, d.co.il maps, etc etc). Just write to them (like I did) and then go find replacement websites (like I did). When they loose enogh golshim they will change.
