Hello, gtk2/gnome2 has a good hebrew support: It both supports bidi internally (the pango lib does it, actually), and has support for right-to-left windows. Just like the hebrew versions of windows (not hebrew enabled, the real hebrew versions).
Well, personally I think that RTLed-windows are ugly. It's unnatural, at least in most cases, when most of the text inside is english anyway. One example is xchat (the 1.9.x development tree, which is based on gtk2)- on default it's running in rtl mode (the input-line is RTLed, even when you type in english), and unlike windows, you cannot change it to be ltr using ctrl+shift (maybe there's a key that I don't know?). I think that pango/gtk2 should be using some environment variable, in a similar way to LC_CTYPE, a gtkrc configuration option, which allows forcing ltr, or at least, a hotkey which flips the typing direction. Should I suggest these to pango's developers (which of the above 3 options)? Would anybody do it by himself? or am I stupid and these features already exist? - Oren ================================================================= 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]
