Hebrew fonts in pages

what are the variety of fonts i can use in hebrew in pages
(when i change fonts it looks the same )
and how can i know its an hebrew font ?
thanks

Dedicated Hebrew fonts in OS X are Arial Hebrew, Corsiva Hebrew, New Peninim, Raanana. There are others that include Hebrew along with English I think.
To activate the Hebrew keyboard, go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for Hebrew, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar, then select Hebrew in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen, and type. The font takes care of itself.

Hebrew font on pages?

I'm trying to convert the text from my Ketubah into a Hebrew font on Pages, does anyone know if Pages has any Hebrew font I can use?
Thanks!
Flavia

OS X comes with a number of Unicode Hebrew fonts, including Arial Hebrew, Corsiva Hebrew, New Peninim, Raanana. You can type with these once you activate a Hebrew keyboard in system prefs/language & text/input sources and select it from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
If your text is in old non-Unicode Hebrew, you will have to download and install a non-standard font from someplace for it to display.
Pages has bugs with RTL scripts that make it unsuitable for them for most purposes. The best app is Mellel, but TextEdit, Nisus Writer, and Open Office should also work OK. MS Word for Mac does not support RTL scripts.

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't

I use classical Hebrew for my work, and Pages will only display English characters even with a Hebrew font selected. If I cut and paste Hebrew characters from another document, as long as the font is supported, it will appear in Pages. If I type it won't continue in Hebrew. I have tried downloading several fonts, including those from professional societies, but the only way to get Hebrew in my document is to cut and paste. Does anyone know how to fix this? I use an older MacBook running OS 10.9.1. I used to do my Hebrew work in Word, but it is no longer supported by Mac OS.

Just clarifying:
Pages '09 has bad support for Hebrew, Arabic etc but will accept pasted text.
Pages 5 has much better support but with bugs.
If you have columns they are in the wrong order ie Text starts in the left column and ends in the right column.
If you type English into Hebrew text it tends to fall in the wrong position eg instead of to the left of Hebrew punctuation it goes to the right.
As Tom recommends the only real solution on the Mac is Mellel.

btw Tell Apple, they are amazingly slow to fix this running sore which has been broken since RtoL was supposedly introduced in OSX 10.2.3 over a decade ago.

What could be happening to both of you is: Unicode Font Coverage. Basically, each character is called a glyph. A font definition file on your computer contains a set number of glyph's - one for each character. If the font does not contain an entry for the specific character you are trying to use then it won't be rendered properly. First thing to do is change to a different font-style and see if that new font contains the glyph's that were not rendering with the old one.
This Page may help in selecting a replacement font.
Edit
Also, in the case of Hebrew fonts you will need to find a "right-to-left" setting. That's how they are done. I'm not familiar where you would look for such a setting in KDE, probably in a "localization" type control panel applet.

Hebrew font issue

Hi,
with Safari 4 the Hebrew font in this page (http://www.antoniolombatti.it/B/Blog06-09/Voci/2009/7/26Pillole_Bibliche_-A.html) doesn't show vowels correctly, while if I use Camino or Firefox (and even PC Firefox and IE) the sentence is rightly displayed.
I think it depends on the way iWeb creates the page, since Safari shows correctly other pages in Hebrew of newspapers and by Bible scholars.
Any idea?
Antonio

Generally speaking, iWeb has various bugs with RTL scripts which can make it unsuitable for Hebrew and Arabic, depending on exactly what is required. Perhaps you have found a new one.
Safari 3 also shows the same problem, so perhaps it is really a Safari bug (especially if all other browsers display it correctly). Let's see if it will work OK here:

I want to use Hebrew fonts in Illustrator CC 2014

Hello - I have installed Illustrator CC 2014 in both the English and English/Hebrew versions and still can't seem to get my Hebrew fonts to work. No matter what I try, any verbiage I type is still showing as roman characters. Any tips or advice?

I also need larger text in tabs.

Is there a way to download additional fonts into Pages? If so, where can I find them?

I was wondering if there was a way to add new fonts to Pages. I recently purchased a new iMac that came standard with Pages. I'm resisting the urge to install Microsoft Word as I prefer Pages in many ways. However, I'm frustrated that I can't use/find any unique fonts to add to Pages like I can do with Microsoft Word. I create documents that I sell online and would love to be able to only use Pages for this purpose. Instead I find myself having to reformat documents in Word just to get the font I want.

Hi stephanie,
Go to the App Store and type Fonts into the Search bar. You will see a large array of fonts you can download. Many of them are free. I downloaded the MacFonts Holiday fonts last year, and they show up anywhere I have a font dropdown.
With any of the MacFonts, you just download it, then follow the instructions for moving them into your FontBook app.
Cheers,

How can I add a new font to pages?

I want to add a new font to page. How do I do that?

Download new fonts from the Internet (e.g. 1001fonts.com), and then open the file once downloaded. This will launch the application FontBook. It will ask "Install the font?" Click "OK", and you will be able to use the new font in Pages, TextEdit or other word processors. (You may have to re-start the application for it to recognize it.)
Bonus info: pressing command–t in many applications opens you computer's font control panel.

How to change default font in Pages?

Usually create your own template using the font you want in the Styles.
What version of Pages are you referring to?

How do I recover a "lost" font in Pages? The font file appears to exist in my MS Office area.

How do I recover a lost font in pages? The font management process seems very opaque, lots of areas on the hard drive with font folders. None seems to match the list of fonts I can pull down from the font menu in Pages. At the moment, the font I need is Century Gothic, which does reside in the MS Office area, but nowhere else that I can find. Would greatly appreciate help!
thanks much, Eilert

Thanks for the idea, fruhulda. I just checked (Jul 18) and the "missing" font is there. However, yesterday I tried a full restart of my computer, and it seemed to fix (?) the problem, so I still am not sure what happened. At any rate, the problem is now gone.

How do you add fonts in pages?

How do you add fonts and clip art in pages? I seem to have few fonts in pages. New to Mac. Thanks! Also seems that there is no clipart in pages? If there is, where can I find it?

On the Mac you add fonts to the System by double clicking on them, they then get opened in Font Book where you can open/close and organise them.
Most ClipArt offered with other applications is rubbish. Apple has left it to you to source your own, better material. This may help:

How do I use a Hebrew font in indesign?

How do I use a Hebrew font in Indesign?

You will need either the Middle Eastern version of InDesign, or a plugin like World Tools for the English version of ID. If you are a Creative Cloud member, you can just download the ME version by setting your langauge correctly in (I think) the Creative Cloud app. If you own a perpetual license for some earlier version of CS, then it's not so easy, and World Tools is (in my limited opinion) probably your best bet.

Why am I unable to use some fonts in Pages '09 since upgrading to Pages 5?

I upgraded to the new Pages and regretted it immediately because it doesn't have a lot of features I am used to and which I need. (The marketing blurb only mentioned what it could do, and omitted to mention how many functions had been removed, otherwise I wouldn't have upgraded.) As a result I decided I wouldn't use Pages 5 until it (hopefully) catches up with the functionality of the older version.
However, the upgrade appears to have done something to corrupt some of my fonts in Pages '09. This means that files I created in Pages '09 cannot now be printed because I get 'gobbledegook' instead of the font I chose (Academy Engraved for one).
I can set a new document in Pages 5 in Academy Engraved but if I then export it into Pages '09 it reverts to gobbledegook. I cannot simply replicate my old Pages '09 files in Pages 5 because the functionality I need isn't there. So I have a lot of files in Pages '09 that I can't print, and I am very frustrated.
I have validated the Academy Engraved font in Font Book and it was fine. Can anyone suggest anything else I can try please?
Many thanks.

Thank you for that, but I'm afraid I muddied the waters by mentioning that alert. I am aware of Gatekeeper, but the point was it was a Pages document not an app so I shouldn't have got that message at all. If anything, I should have got the "You need a newer version of Pages" message. However, I'll live with that one for the time being.
It's the font problem that I'm really concerned with. If I open a new document in Pages '09 I can no longer use Academy Engraved font, it just looks like gobbledegook. Neither can I read Academy Engraved font in any of my old Pages '09 documents. However, Academy Engraved font works fine in Pages 5. So by upgrading needlessly to Pages 5 I can no longer use Academy Engraved in Pages '09. That's my main problem.

How to add fonts in Pages 5.01 Mavericks???

How do I add fonts to Pages 5.01 (Mavericks)???
Is this possible?
And if it´s not too much, where would I find compatible fonts?
Thanks very much in advance for all suggestions!

If you Google Fonts for Mac, you'll find many possibilities. Be aware that (mostly) the really good quality fonst cost money

Problem with Interstate font in Pages

When I use Interstate as a font in Pages, a " shows where a hard return is given (1st visual). This does not happen when using other fonts (2nd visual).
How do I get rid of the " when using Interstate?
Kind regards,
Elfromamsterdam
IOS 10.9.5
Pages 5.2.2

Sorry I misread your post and have just been checking out the Interstate font.
Where did you get it and what version do you have?
I got a free Tobias-Freer Jones version from µfont, and checked that it has both the inch and foot marks and the "curly" quotes, which it does.
This then comes down to what you have in the Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Keyboard > Text > Auto-substitution
