--- Comment #15 from Yousuf Philips (jay) <philipz85 at hotmail.com> ---
So i'll be tackling the issue of what we should bundle in this comment.

As can be seen in attachment 137864, Windows and OS X provide their users with
a David-variant (David, Raanana), a Frank Ruehl-variant (FrankRuehl, New
Peninim MT), and an Arial-variant (Arial, Arial Hebrew).

Windows (attachment 137853) and OS X (attachment 137854) also provide their
users with a Lucida variant (Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande), while Windows
also provides its users with a number of additional sans and serif fonts, but
also 3 slim styled fonts (Miriam, Levenim MT, MS Sans Serif) and 2 mono styled
fonts (Miriam Fixed, Courier New).

So in order to help these users to use open source hebrew fonts, as well as
ensure interoperability of documents created on linux with open source hebrew
fonts, we should bundle

* 2 David variants        (serif) - David Libre, David CLM
* 2 Frank Ruehl variants  (serif) - Frank Ruhl Hofshi, Frank Ruehl CLM
* 2 Miriam variants        (slim) - Miriam Libre, Miriam CLM
* 1 mono-space font        (mono) - Miriam Mono CLM
* 3 recommended sans fonts (sans) - Rubik Libre, Nachlieli CLM, Alef

I gathered together the OFL licensed Libre fonts from their github pages and
put them together, though i limited them only to the 4 basic styles (regular,
italic, bold, bold italic).

The GPL licensed Culmus (CLM) version 0.131 will be pulled from website.

The OFL licensed Alef version 1.001 pulled from its website but i trimmed it
down to just the essentials.
