Microsoft Sans Serif™ Hebrew is a very legible User Interface (UI) font. It was designed to be metrically compatible with the MS Sans bitmap font that shipped in early versions of Microsoft Windows. The original MS Sans was in the inflexible .fon bitmap format and could not be scaled. Microsoft Sans Serif Hebrew is much more flexible and legible as it font antialiasing and scalable user interfaces.

Microsoft Sans Serif Hebrew contains an extensive character Set: Latin-1, WGL, Arabic, Hebrew and Thai. It will appear in the font menu as " Microsoft Sans Serif ". NOTE: Hebrew fonts are not supported in Office 2008 for Mac.
