Hebrew task list



Speaking about Hebrew on the net, I got the idea that we should create
a "Hebrew Task list", about projects that should be carried out to support
Hebrew better under Linux. I can think of the following projects. 
Please send in your own ideas to the list.

* Reverse screen support in emacs 19.28 .

* Support for right to left text in Tk. This may involve several levels.
  The simplest is the possibility to just reverse the text in the
  widget. More fancy options would be to introduce tags denoting 
  right-to-left portions, like TeX--XeT.
  
* Support of reverse geometry in the Athena widgets. That is, nothing
  fancy, just a flag to be able to reverse the screen like in the editors
  hed/rsvim. This is by the way not that simple, I looked in to it once,
  and the screen direction assumptions are deeply burried in several
  nested levels.

* A Hebrew line printer program for postscript. I could easily make such
  a program if I knew of any free fixed-pitched type1 font.

* A X11 based mail program supporting Hebrew in a natural way.
