Last tried, OO did not work, Kword did.) >How do I modify the keyboard layouts to get such characters? Look what I found: Go to the KDE setup->accessibility->keyboard layouts. One has four, count 'em, Hebrew layouts there: basic, lyx, phonetic and biblical. The lyx layout has nikud (Hebrew vowel symbols) and trop (cantillation symbols for chanting biblical passages) on certain shifted keys. The biblical layout has them with caps/lock. Now, if I could only see the layout to be able to use and learn it conveniently. (Dagesh has a different layout and has clicked keyboard arrays as aids.) ... and, entered from these layouts rather than imported (Hebrew/bidi RTF is broken in recent OO for quite a while now), they are displayed (almost) correctly in OO! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
