Is there a standard mapping of the (22+5) Hebrew letters onto 7-bit values,
and if so what is it? I have got two hebrew fonts for our HP Deskjet,
converted from Laserjet fonts. Both have different and highly awkward
mappings, clearly intended to approximate the Latin alfabet; neither is even
in collating sequence. I doubt seriously that that is the way it is done in
Israel, but my most recent docs on the subject are from 1969.
