IIRC acon is something for the linux console only. I also recall it was
quite buggy. At least last time I tried it (around 2001). Were there any
newer versions?
It has gone through a rewrite (acca?) at arround 2004 or so, but that
stalled too.
Anybody has better details?

Again, this is needed for the Linux console, which is limited with a
character map of 512 characters. Or you can use the font LatArCyrHeb-16 .
