The problem might be that Mac OS X presents the fonts in different 
"encodings": Raanana is Hebrew and comes as Mac-Roman, TimesNewRoman 
from Monotype comes as Mac-Cyrillic although it supports Latin with a 
few hundred glyphs, x-times the volume of Raanana.

I can see similiar nonsense when I try to use fonts in the carbonized 
GNU Emacsen. Some good Unicode organized fonts come as Mac-Japanese or 
Mac-Cyrillic and are unusable for Latin.
