Dear all, I need to enable hebrew writing on my Suse Linux. I succeeded to install the hebrew fonts. I can read hebrew text, however, I don't succeed to write in hebrew. When I change the keyboard fonts and try to write, I just get girbbish on the screen. I'd appreciate and I'd be grateful for any assistance. Regards, Itzhak

Sorry for answering very late, I didn't know any solution to your problem. But this seems to work on SuSE Linux 8.0 now. The new Qt3/KDE3 supports bidirectinal writing, i.e. if you select the Israelian keyboard in the KDE3 control center, input of hebrew works in KDE3 applications. In SuSE Linux 8.0 there is also a new terminal available called 'mlterm' (multilingual terminal). 'mlterm' also supports bidirectional writing, if you use it in UTF-8 mode. Just start LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 mlterm and select the Israelian keyboard in the KDE3 control center and you can input hebrew into mlterm. -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
