Only a little bit, the ascii chars are getting really bigger the hebrew
ones only a slightly bit. Do I need additional fonts (I am on (K)ubuntu
10.04)???

Ok you are right. There are even nikkud!
However the input methods which are offered do no include hebrew
phonetic, by which I mean
"aleph" is on "a" etc.
That is why I use the input via KDE and that is why I need to turn on
R2L manually.
So maybe the best solution would be to provide also hebrew-phonetical[1]
Because I am a little worried how KDE keyboard and nested text may work
together.
I can give it a try to have also a hebrew-phonetical. Which are the
files to be modified?

Footnotes:
[1] (BTW what is hebrew-lyx suppose to be? KDE also offers it and I cannot
see any difference to standard hebrew, ok I don't have a hebrew keyboard
here, so maybe . / etc are different.
