When I use "Print to File" on this page then I get this PDF:

My font information is different:

name                                 type              emb sub uni object ID
------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- ---------
TimesNewRomanBold                    CID TrueType      yes no  yes      5  0
TimesNewRoman                        CID TrueType      yes no  yes      7  0
DejaVuSans                           CID TrueType      yes no  yes     38  0

Here is a screenshot at 400% zoom after opening my PDF with okular (which uses
libpoppler for PDF rendering, just like evince):

Is that properly-displayed Hebrew text?

(I hope the rapidshare links work; I currently have no personal webspace
 for sharing files.)
