Hi,
If anyone was using Elmar fonts with biditext-0.9.1 and wondered
why certain fonts don't get reversed, please run this script in the
Elmar fonts directory (make sure it contains ONLY Elmar fonts!).
for filename in *.pcf;\
do echo $filename;\
perl -i -pe "s/CHARSET_ENCODING\\0001/CHARSET_ENCODING\\0008/g" $filename;\
done
xset fp rehash
The problem is due to the .pcf fonts internally specifying an ISO8859-1
encoding, which the new biditext recognizes as non-Hebrew and doesn't
reverse. The problem is NOT in biditext.
I notified Eli about the problem.
