Hi.

I know this matter has been discussed at least twice so far on this 
list, but I still can't seem to make hebrew work properly in AbiWord.

I'm using AbiWord version 1.0.2, compiled with bidi enabled, and locale 
set to he_IL.ISO-8859-8.

First of all, I had to disable "font warning on startup", because of the 
annoying "can't modify your font path" error on startup.
Now I installed a few fonts, including Win's Miriam and David, in 
/usr/local/share/AbiSuite/fonts/ISO-8859-8, and updated the fonts.dir 
and fonts.scale.

The above two fonts appear in the fonts list when I run Abiword, but 
still no hebrew. These two specific fonts show blank squares instead of 
hebrew characters, and all other fonts (for example, Times New Roman) 
show gibrish (german-like e's and a's with dots and lines above).

PS. I'm using Redhat 7.3 and KDE 3.0.0, and have no problems with hebrew 
in other places.


Thanks,
Itai
