Hebrew fonts

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

Have you tried Yahoo's Japanese version of their mail service at mail.yahoo.co.jp? Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

screwy KON display on 7.3
by ピアスエリック 11 Feb '02

11 Feb '02

Does anyone know if changing the video display for KON (Kanji console terminal) can fix a screwy display (and not damage the LCD monitor)? On my 7.1 desktop installation KON works fine, but on 7.3 (laptop) the screen goes screwy (looks like it's the wrong video setting). Any help is much appreciated!

Er.. Nevermind my letter. I had been running GIMP in English mode (hence no Japanese input). Anyway, I just ran GIMP via LANG=ja_JP and everything worked fine. Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! BB is Broadband by Yahoo! http://bb.yahoo.co.jp/

multiple language tip

And just to prove I'm not a complete helpless moron... here's a handy addition to your .bashrc file for those of you running in a different language environment than English but occaisionally need to run something in English. alias E='LANG=en_US' Throwing an 'E' in front (e.g., 'E man grep') sure beats typing 'LANG=en_US' everytime. Hope that helps someone. Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! BB is Broadband by Yahoo! http://bb.yahoo.co.jp/

Has anyone had any luck getting an Asian font (in my case Japanese) to work in GIMP's 'Text Tool'? Thanks, Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! BB is Broadband by Yahoo! http://bb.yahoo.co.jp/

Eureka!

Well, it almost all works! KDE 2.2.2 and everything in Chinese (simplified). Even xcin is working like a charm. Did everything by the book now. I will also try CJK-LyX tomorrow. Today I don't have the guts... One problem remains: KOffice doesn't seem to like printing with GB encoded fonts though. Look at this screenshot: (Dunno if the chinese glyphs make sense, it's not me who needs that Chinese environment... :-) http://www.mmweg.rwth-aachen.de/~arne.schmitz/desktop2.jpg The print preview and also the print itself is broken. Can I do something about it? European encoded text works fine, of course. And something else: Konqueror chooses gb1320 as default encoding for http://cn.yahoo.com, but the displayed page is empty! If I switch manually to gbk, everything looks fine. What's going on there? Arne -- You too can wear a nose mitten. [--- PGP key available on http://www.root42.de/ ---]
