I need to write Hebrew text in Latex. I am currently working on Windows

I need to write Hebrew text in Latex.
I am currently working on Windows with TeXnicCenter. I was pretty happy with this tool, up until the time when I needed to write Hebrew text. My regular alt-shift just won’t change the language (I even downloaded the last alpha version, which was supposed to solve the problem, but it didn’t).

So I’m looking for another latex editor for windows that will let me write Hebrew.

Please advice.

Note: I know that it is possible with Lyx, but I prefer a real Latex editor.

I found the solution to my problem, so I’m describing it here:

Apparently, I did not have the fonts for Hebrew. The Hebrew fonts can be downloaded here:

After the download the compilation of latex to pdf works, but texniccenter did not just read the fonts. I managed to make it work in WinShell the following way:
Options -> Fonts -> (Documents, Tahoma Font, Hebrew, Standard Encoding)

Thanks you for answering 🙂

    WinEdt doesn’t suppose Unicode yet but it will in the next release. But you can consider WinShell. It’s a very good LaTeX editor and you can find its features at:

    I’ve used it before and was happy with the forum support.

    Update

    March 21, 2012: WinEdt 7 now supports Unicode.
