Kde 1.86 (or crash as it is called) already support bidi and hebrew (while
being based on qt 2.0)
and hopefully so would koffice:)

mature??
what does that mean?

KDE is based on qt gnome on gtk how would you port it?rewrite it all over?

there are already projects that support hebrew on various program
check the ivrix web page
| 4. Maybe I should note - even Hebrew in Windows started with funding -
| Israeli Aircraft Industries funded the hebrew support in Windows 3.x
|
| Any comments? Someone from ISOC maybe?
Ivrix and someother linux wanna be distribtion is working on hebrew for a
long time now
check
http://samhain.cc.huji.ac.il/linux/hebrew/
and I forgot the ivirix site www.ivrix.co.il maybe?
