The same happens when I import blocks with text in Hebrew.

This is a the block looks

Hi Etay,

Do you have all fonts used in this drawing installed in AutoCAD on your Mac?
Use STYLE command to open Text Style window and look through all text styles defined in the drawing. If font is missing, then you should see exclamation mark near it.

No, it is there:

You need to add gil.shx to AutoCAD. Then you will be able to see correct Hebrew letters.

I downloaded all the fonts and add them the shx folder but nothing has changed.

when i go back to STYLE and look next to Gil i no longer see the sign like before, but on the drawing nothing changes.

also, another block does shoe hebrew letters but mirrored.

Restart AutoCAD yet? Often needed when adding fonts.

You can use that font, it should work on Mac too.
