Hi,
I'm building an application that requires users to be abe to type in
almost
any language.
It has basically two types of fields: 1 input and 2 dynamic fields.
I was able to get things working in the Flash IDE where I could type in
hebrew and any other language and got correct output in the dynamic
fields.
However, once uploaded Internet Explorer did some strange things behind
the
scene but I was able to type in hebrew.
In firefox I wasn't able to type in hebrew at all.
Both browser did output the hebrew correctly in the dynamic fields.
I'm not embedding any font; just Verdana is used as a font.
That's the key point. If you look back over several posts of mine on this
list, you'll see that when using embedded fonts, you're in much more control
than non-embedded. Without embedding, you're at the mercy of the browser and
OS, and the result is that you really have no idea what will show up (quite
aside from the question of whether your end-user will be able to see
anything at all).
Unfortunately, embedding means that you definitely *won't* get RTL for free.
Fortunately, if you're working with Hebrew rather than Arabic, the RTL
algorithm is reasonably simple so you may find you can manage it by hand
(it's less simple if you're allowing Bidirectional text, but still
manageable). You could also try FlashRTL, which is pretty good but doesn't
include any solutions for input.
