--- Comment #2 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalroz at technion.ac.il> ---
To clarify and expand my position: I believe that we need to make the following
choices regarding the default Hebrew font:

1. Should the choice of serif vs sans-serif be adopted from the choice w.r.t.
Latin fonts, or should it be made independently for Hebrew?
2. Assuming it's independent - is it better for Hebrew to have  serif or as
sans-serif font?
3. Given the choice of serif-vs-sans-serif, which is the best free Hebrew font
to use as default?

My position is:

1. Leaning towards adopting the same choice as for Latin, but not a strong
opinion.
2. Serif all the way! Documents should be targeted at print by default.
3. If it's serif: David CLM, definitely ; if it's sans-serif: Noto Sans, or
maybe Arimo, or Cousine (no strong preference)
