I really don't want to start a war so first of all, if anyone was
insulted by my comments about Hebrew support, I appologize. I know that
this is a problematical subject and that many people have worked hard
to try and solve it. But, since the work has been done, it's a shame
that the instructions on the IGLU site are not clear enough to help
people enjoy the fruits of this labour. I'm sure Eli Marmor's fonts are
great. In fact I saw his Hebrew version of Netscape many months ago and
was impressed (although I personally prefer an English interface with
only Hebrew enabled fonts - but that's a matter of taste). But I didn't
chose the IOL link for no reason. Here's what it says on the site:
the best solution is to install support for true-type fonts. see the
following link for some iinstructions:
http://www2.iol.co.il/communities/Linux/include/articles/21509.asp
(TODO: give those istructions, or better ones, here)
So I went to the **best solution**.
The fact that I gave up is really because, at the moment, Hebrew is not
my highest priority as I'm sure you realize from my previous messages.
I suppose I eventually would have gotten to Eli Marmor's fonts and I
certainly will when I get the rest of my problems solved.
BTW - again, I don't mean any insult, but in 5 minutes on the IGLU site
I found 2 broken links and I assume there may be more. So whoever is
maintaining the page should check the following:
1 - On http://www.linux.org.il/faq/cache/48.html the link to
www.linux.org.il/links.html is broken.
2 - The link given in the Welcome to the List message is
http://www.linux.org.il/linux-il-faq.html but it's broken. That makes a
bad first impression.
