There was a discussion on that once, you can probably google it, but I
think that the conclusion is that you can _use_ the fonts locally, but
not redistribute them.

Great!

I am not sure. Hebrew script is not attached like Arabic script is, so
I am only familiar with the RTL and non-unicode support issues. Can
you link to an Arabic-language program that I could test with?

On second thought, it has been a long time since I've worked with
Hebrew in Wine as I've found it _very_ problematic. I tried using MS
Office a few weeks ago and it was unusable due to RTL issues.

Gladly!
