The "confusion" is the result of copyright laws. While computer font
(screen and printer) names sometimes come perilously close to infringing
copyright, they are never the exact same name as a typeface font. These
names and designs, both print and computer, are protected.
In any case, isn't "Hebrew" Naveh's designation for the square DSS
script? And, isn't it just a bit anachronistic to refer to the scroll
scripts by modern names?

PS: Copyright infringement on font design is something with which I am
intimately familiar... I've lost track of how many of my computer font
designs have been pirated. (All the pirate has to do is to add a hairline,
or increase internal whitespace, etc. I've even run across a Bitstream (c)
design pirated as is... and on a major project!)
