Thanks, I got some tips from Dan Kenigsberg and now I have the basic stuff working :) Thanks! summary: - I use xterm -fn 8x13. (well actually, I added XTerm*font1: heb8x13 to my .Xresources, and now when I choose the xterm 'Unreadable' font from the xterm menu, I get the hebrew font :) - I recompiled vim with rightleft support - I added LESSCHARSET=latin1 to my environment (otherwise less refused to show the non-ascii characters) - for some reason I had ":set encoding=utf8" in my .vimrc -- had to remove that for vim to show hebrew ... - added a mapping in vim: map <F12> :set invrl invhk - added another mapping to filter all vim text through bidiv.. - addded to .muttrc set charset="iso-8859-8-i" BTW, my locale is still "C" and the above works fine. Is there a good reason to chanmge it to something else? ================================================================= 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]
