Hello, Yotam!
As far as I remember, the move from 0.6 to 0.7 is quite obvious and doesn't
require any special manipulations with the fonts. I don't have immediate
plans to release another TeX version, mainly because at the present level my
fonts don't present radical improvement over the existing ones.
Maxim.
P. S. I cc'ed this message to Ivritex list, as it seems to be a more
appropriate place for our discussion.
