Because you didn't want it on the devel list.

Ok, I started now emacs -Q


Then the hebrew font is indeed closer to ariel and therefore ok.

However when I press in the menu:
options-->set-default-font-->more-fonts-->select family


Then not only Emacs freezes but my whole Laptop and I have to reboot.

I am on Ubuntu 24, and I tried out various windows manager, gnome,
trinity (a kde 3 fork) always the same result.

I am not sure who is the culprit.

And how to send a bug report.

Any comments, or advice?
