Hi,

I'm trying to get hebrew tags displayed on my SB3.  I followed the
instructions ( http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?UnicodeFonts ) and
verified that the test files from the SVN show hebrew chars on the SB
display.

However, there are two problems:
1. Hebrew strings are reversed.
2. Most hebrew tags are ASCII-hebrew rather than Unicode.  Therefore,
they still show as accented latin chars rather than hebrew.

Both problems are solved in other applications by using the fribidi
library ( http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/freesw/FriBidi/ ).  Fribidi
can convert between the various types of hebrew and reverse the
necessary parts.

Has anyone tried integrating fribidi into slimserv ?  A perl library
exists (
http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/freesw/FriBidi/FriBidi-0.04.tar.gz )
so it should be possible.

Mack
