Noto literals should be used. noto_for_developers_720

Yeah, this is a terrible font reminds of me of Windows 3.11 etc. Hebrew has much smoother and more readable fonts.

Someone would need to implement https://github.com/helloSystem/hello/issues/448 before we can start shipping more non-Latin fonts.

@yarons Do you have any Hebrew fonts that you recommend?

yarons commented 1 year ago

I think the bilingual Suez font by Michal Sahar is quite similar and ODF-1.1 licensed which is pretty permissive: https://github.com/MichalSahar/Suez

I found some missing diacritics but these are seldomly used.
