ecnaraeppA* (read it backwards, in case you still haven't) is a Mac OS control panel that lets you select Large and Small System Fonts for use by Roman and Hebrew applications, the Views Font, and the associated Roman fonts. ecnaraeppA is like an extended version of the Fonts tab of the Appearance control panel, that gives you full control over System Fonts in a bilingual environment.

You can use the Language Register application to register applications as Hebrew or Roman. An application registered as Hebrew will use the Hebrew system fonts (and the associated Roman fonts), so you'll be able to see Hebrew in its menus and dialog boxes. An application registered as Roman will use the Roman system fonts, so you won't be able to see Hebrew in its menus and dialog boxes, but you'll be able to see special signs such as © and TM.
