bidi support is a compile-time default, and is turned off by default. bidi support in 0.9.4.1 is not stable (read: *very* easy to crash soon after starting) I read somewhere that it was supposed to be turned on in the CVS buildss after 0.9.5 will be out. 0.9.5 has just been released, but I don't follow their lists closely. And there is, of course, the problem of setting up fonts. If you read their unix-fonts doc you'll see that they are not likely to adopt QT's approach, and thus setting it up to use hebrew fonts may still be a mess, as long as such fonts can come with the abiword distribution. -- Tzafrir Cohen /"\ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Taub 229, 04-829-3942 X Against HTML Mail http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir / \ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
