Installing fonts

I work on AutoCAD LT 2013 in English.  I am currently collaborating with an Architect in Israel and all the notes are in Hebrew.  He sent me all the fonts and I installed them (I added the fonts to folder Program files/ Autodesk/ Autocad/ fonts).  However, the text still doesn't appear in Hebrew characters but rather symbols like a question mark or English character mirrored.  I restarted AuotCAD and that didn't help.  

 

Any suggestions, will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Are the fonts SHX or TTF?

 

When you go into the Text Style dialog, and you choose one of the styles that use these fonts, do you see the little yellow shield that indicates a missing font?

Also, when you open the drawing, click F2, review the drawing opening history, look for font substitution messages.

Thank you for your response!
The fonts I added are SHX
When I open the text style dialog, I can see all these fonts in the style
list (upper left corner of dialog) and there aren't any yellow shields that
indicates it is missing.
When I checked history, it says: Substituting (simplex.shx) for (gil.shx).
gil.shx is the name of one of the fonts that I added. And there is
substitution messages like this for each and one of the fonts that I added.

Do you think I need to add Hebrew as a language to my computer? or this has
nothing to do with it?

Did you restart LT2013 yet? Required I believe.
Are you sure the folder you dropped the fonts in are the one the program uses? "substituting" means its not the correct folder.

@ravitTL6E7 - it sounds like the folder in which you dropped the fonts is not in the support file search path, or the font is corrupt. That's why AutoCAD is substituting [simplex].
