Re: Hebrew In Gnome ...
Until gtk 1.4 will hit the streets, the closetst thing to hebrew support
in gnome is the gtkbiditext hack (gtkbd, for short). This is a library,
with a script.
The script loads the library in a way that it will replace the existing
gtktext widgetof gtk with one that has bidi support. It is far from being
perfect, but also far from nothing at all.
Have a look at:
http://linux.org.il/pub/local-dev/tzafrir/00INDEX.html#gtkbidi
for an rpm (and a link to Dov Grobgeld's original page).
and at:
http://ivrix.org.il/mailing-lists/ivrix-discuss/2000/04/0020.html
for the latest version.
There are also the questions of hebrew fonts, hebrew keyboard etc., but
those are handled by X itself, and not by gnome.
