I don't think that that is technically posible. > I'm using the culmus fonts, maybe you should try those? I installed them, too, but I did not set them as screen fonts. AFAIK they re used for DVI output, as screen font I have the bitstream vera family, and that works well. > Does anyone else have any ideas as to what might be causing these weird > problems? > > Is there anyone else out there testing 1.5.0svn with any BiDi language? I can not input anything (because I don't know how to set that up), but I can load existing files and compare with the generated DVI output. I do see some hebrew displayed in reverse order, but I am not sure yet whether that is the same problem that Guy is seeing. The locale should not have anything to do with it, that is only needed for translating menus and things like figure labels. Georg
