For example, if you wish to display Unicode documents whose characters aren't all found in iso8859-8 (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic mixed text), you'll need an iso10646-1 font (you could use iso8859-8, but the Arabic would be displayed as question marks). With TrueType fonts on XF4, you can simply add another line to 'fonts.dir' with the desired encoding and it'll be available to all applications. Otherwise, if it's a Unicode document but all it has is Hebrew characters, you could view it with an iso8859-8 font as well. (With KDE3 though it'll all change - if you have an iso8859-8 font and an iso8859-6 font, but no iso10646-1 font -- it'll manage to display both Hebrew (with the iso8859-8 font) and Arabic (iso8859-6) simulaneously.) ================================================================= 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]
