Paleo-Hebrew (Ancient Hebrew) font isn't equivalent with modern Hebrew keys in Win10

Solution 1:

I have installed the Paleo-Hebrew font and tried it with Word 2010. Typing the characters a to z gives this text:

Paleo-Hebrew

Going by the The Hebrew Language table that I found, and using the Middle characters, these characters correspond to :

a - aleph
b - bet
c - tsade
d - dal
e - shin
f - gam
g - hey
i - tet

Now I have found another Hebrew font, Evyoni Paleo, with which the same a-z gives this :

Evyoni Paleo

Here we can see :

a - aleph
b - bet
c - unused
d - dal
e - unused
f - pey
g - gam
i - unused

I haven't gone any further with the correspondence, but if we compare to a Hebrew keyboard layout that I found :

Hebrew keyboard

My conclusion is that both fonts work correctly, except maybe the Evyoni Paleo font maps less characters, but both have tried to associate the English and Hebrew characters phonetically by their sounds, rather than adhering to the Hebrew keyboard layout, according to the English keyboard.

If you would rather map them to Hebrew keyboard, you could use a product such as AutoHotkey that can reprogram the keyboard and much more.
