Wel, that isn't the reason. First, when I click file->print and then click on the button "system options", the dialog that appears has the optino "embed fonts" already ticked (it's a tick box). Secondly, I was using Arial, a MS ttf wenfont, which does the job perfectly on konqueror, and kmail (which, IIRC, uses kedit, so you got one more app that works fine with Hebrew printing). The only thing I can think of is that kword doesn't like ttf. > 5* can produce pdf > 6* pdf that embeds fonts > > This is done by ghostscript.

Thanks. I posted the above partly because I'd like these fixed. Although I am still upset about the not yet perfect displaying of Hebrew pages with footnotes. I'll wait for kde 3.1 and see (man, that's gonna be some download. It's the first time I'll have to do it over 5k line :-(.)
