I don't suppose you want visual hebrew text. This is probably not availalbe (and usually quite pointless) > preferably bidi enabled/capable.

Set the locale (LANG/LC_CTYPE) to he_IL.ISO-8859-8to get this effect from QT2/QT3/gtk2. I'm not sure about TK. > > I checked for QT, and at last count there were no perl bindings.

No bidi support for TK, AFAIK. > However, as I am not very familiar with GUI programming, I may have > overlooked something, so correct me if I am wrong on QT or Perl-gtk. You need gtk2/QT3 . I'm not sure what is the status of the perl bindings for gtk2. I also believe that both QT and gtk have python bindings. Though I realise that learing a new language may be not the ideal "rapid prototyping" ;-) (No flames, on perl vs. python, please) -- Tzafrir Cohen /"\ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Taub 229, 972-4-829-3942, X Against HTML Mail http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir / \ ================================================================= 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]
