Re: Netscape 6.0x NOT containing BiDi
As far as i know gtk 1.4 wouldn't have hebrew support and it would be in
2.0
1.3 or gtkbeta as it called now has the start of an hebrew support
you can see more detailes in www.pango.org btw i looked at the beta
and it seems to have localize for many langauges including arabic
but not hebrew yea yea starting to work on it ;-)

|
| Also, will Gnome 1.4 will come with some Hebrew support?
