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