Steps to reproduce:

Opened Write window and wrote a message in Hebrew using the Alef font (see http://alef.hagilda.com/) which is installed on my PC

Actual results:

The Write window displayed the Alef font as if it were Times Roman Hebrew

Expected results:

It should have displayed the Alef font as in the above web page

Could you attach a few screenshots of it not working? I've tried it on my end and when I open the Alef font file it seems to BE New Times Roman but this may be more a issue with my computer than the font.

On Windows 10, I downloaded and installed Alef-Regular.ttf and that works when typing Latin characters or pasting Hebrew ones, however weird stuff happens since Hebrew is written rtl, right?
