From: Bob Leif
I went to the World Wide Web Consortium Web site and looked up Hebrew and
found this URL:
--------------------------------
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-SVG-19991203/fonts.html
(Section)20 Fonts

Contents
20.1 Introduction
20.2 SVG fonts
20.2.1 Overview of SVG fonts
20.2.2 The 'font' element
20.2.3 The 'glyph' element
20.2.4 The 'missing-glyph' element
20.2.5 The 'hkern' and 'vkern' elements
20.3 DOM interfaces
20.3.1 Interface SVGFontElement
20.3.2 Interface SVGGlyphBaseElement
20.3.3 Interface SVGGlyphElement
20.3.4 Interface SVGMissingGlyphElement
20.3.5 Interface SVGKernBaseElement
20.3.6 Interface SVGHKernElement
20.3.7 Interface SVGVKernElement

horiz-adv-x = "<number>"
The horizontal advance after rendering a glyph in horizontal orientation.
The default value is the value of the font's horizAdvX attribute. Glyph
widths are required to be positive, even if the glyph is typically rendered
right-to-left, as in Hebrew and Arabic scripts.
------------------------------------------------
I would like to see this type of functionality in Ada. However as a
practical matter, the use of web technology to display Hebrew can be as
above or as the Israelis are doing it.
