Oops. I didn't see the need for Hebrew. I think that at least in (1) and (2), Hebrew is not built in. So you will either have to add it, or to switch to a commercial solution. There are mainly 2 solutions, both for Windows: Ligature (the most professional one), and Kotev (the cheaper). Anyway, adding Hebrew is not a mission impossible. You need 2 things for that: 1. To teach the engine - usually it's easy to teach it, and even doesn't require any patch. 2. To make some minor patches so right-to-left will be supported instead of right-to-left. You must be a programmer for this. If you want to support mixed directional texts (Hebrew + Latin and/or digits), it is going to be harder. -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] CTO, Founder Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-23-7338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel ================================================================= 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]
