Is there anyone else out there testing 1.5.0svn with any BiDi language?
I'd like to test it but I don't know if I can install any RTL language
keyboard support on my WinXP laptop :-(

Hi Abdel!
I believe that WinXP comes with all languages / keyboard definitions?
This is how you would go about adding the Hebrew keyboard in WinXP (this
is on a desktop, though):
In Control Panel -> Regional & Language Settings, choose th Languages
tab. There you have a section "Text services and input languages",
choose the "Details..." button. In the section "Installed services"
choose "Add...", and you should see a list from which you can choose the
various languages.
Unfortunately I need the XP installation CD to install support for RTL
language which I don't have...
Alternatively, I guess you don't really need keyboard input at all: just
try loading the example attached to bug #3040
(http://bugzilla.lyx.org/attachment.cgi?id=1357&action=view) which
already has Hebrew in it.
Of course, for it to work you will have had to
apply Georg's patch for the encodings,
This one is already in SVN I think.
and you have to enable RTL as I
explained earlier in this thread. Maybe you'll also need to change the
screen fonts to fonts which have Hebrew glyphs --- I believe that Times
New Roman, for example, has them. That should be enough to test our
current problem --- you can see if the order is correct or not (see the
screenshots that I sent --- test.png --- which is correct, or that Guy
sent --- snapshot2.jpg --- which is incorrect).
OK, thanks for the explanation, I'll try to test that.
Abdel.
