There was a script suplied some time ago on this news group (I added it to
this mail) that changes your turkish language to hebrew. If you appley it
to netscape, it well let you under composer to change the language to
hebrew. It will let you write hebrew text, although only left to right,
so you will either have to write in reverse, or get a program that will
let you switch the direction of the text. I know that there are some bidi
algorithms, but i havn't checked out their use and functionality (look in
the linux il site, there is some information on it).
The script: (copy it to a file, make it executable, and make shure that
there are no newlines, as the mail program inserts new lines. also make
shure that you are executing it on the real executable and not a launcher,
as is done in debian, I don't know about others, look in
/usr/lib/netscape/... for communicator-smotif.real or netscape-smotif.real
or something of the sort).
#!/bin/sh
# Change this to the location of your binary:
netscape=/usr/lib/netscape/47/communicator/communicator-smotif.real
echo "Moving $netscape to ${netscape}.old..."
mv $netscape ${netscape}.old
echo "Editing the binary... (this can take a LONG time)"
sed -e 's/8859-8/8859-z/g' -e 's/88598/8859z/g' -e 's/8859_8/8859_z/g'
