1. Sorry it didn't work, especially if I created the illusion that my
solution is a "killing solution" for the hebrew "problem" on Linux
browsers (well it isn't, isn't it? ;-).
2. Although I made a decent use of polite "disclaimers", I forgot to
mention that my solution works for RH6.1, which is what I use.
3. Differences between distro's, though might stretch your patience
limits, are solvable (and very learning-full!...). Regarding your
problem, I also had to do various things in situation, for example, were
I didn't shut down X or netscape before starting the whole process.
What I would have tried is to do it again. Don't forget to :
A. do it from console! (telinit 3, shut down X for the procedure)
B. remove the xfstt rpm before redoing. also remove the xfstt cache
being left in /var/cache/xfstt (rm -Rf /var/cache/xfstt .yep, the
whole dir')
C. now follow the procedures. I *hope* it'll work.
If it doesn't:
1. There are probably differences between RH and Suse that causes this.
either tweak it, or...->
2. In response to my first "recepie", the list recieved other
suggestions, some of them (at least one I can recall) are worth the
check (time... if I had time...). Why dont you try to use them ? Here is
the list archive so you can track the whole thread/s developed
afterwards: http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Linux/maillists/
That's it! :-)
