These fonts have previously been ps font. The ps (*.pfb) can be seen in
ftp.cc.huji.ac.il/additional_stuff/fonts/ps
For about 20 years I have kept an article written by someone who made a
small research re their source - and I am sorry I can't find it at the
moment.  I remember that years ago it has been decided in the Hebrew
Universsity that these fonts can safely be considered free for everyone.

Tzafrir, hello,
> What exactly is the problem?
I have taken the Culmus fonts' sources and did the required steps in order
to create files which are needed by Windows (*.afm  *tfm  *.vf  *.pfa).  All
seemed ok, but once I tried to use the fonts within a latex document, no
letter appeared on the output.
I have erased all this work before I realized that a new heblatex would
entail the necessity to use these Culmus fonts.  I will do it again now -
who knows, maybe this time the outcome will be ok - or someone can help me
find how to correct the situation.

Does this sound logical to you?
