Hebrew



Hi,

Since one of the main reasons for the existence of this list is HEBREW, has it
occured to anyone that there is a real need for a tutorial or course, or
seminar of some sort on the subject? I'm sure alot of people would attend if
someone could give a lecture or demonstration on the subject. I know I would.

I know there have been many posts on the subject and there are several links on
the site, but we (I) need is something a bit more **hands on** practical. Among
the things I'd love to see actually demonstated are installing and using fonts,
using the Hebrew keyboard, various LTR or RTL and encoding issues in Netscape
and/or Konqueror. Fonts and encoding in both browsers, etc.

For instance, among the problems I've recently had (since moving to Mandrake
7.2 and KDE instead of GNOME) are:

1 - vim -H doesn't work with Hebrew fonts if I run the command from Konsole, but
it DOES work from Gnome Terminal (even while I'm running KDE).

2 - The Hebrew fonts in Konqeror are even worse than in Netscape

3 - My e-mail client (XFMail) supports Hebrew encoding and in Mandrake 7.0 with
Gnome I could also see Hebrew fonts (in the wrong direction but better than
nothing). But now in 7.2 running KDE I get gibberish.

At the moment, I'm not looking for solutions or answers to these problems since
I've more or less woked around them or can live with them, but as I said at the
beginning of this message, I thing there's a real need for a seminar or
demonstartion of how to use Hebrew.
