Hi

I'm trying to use the culmus fonts with RH7.3


(The culmus fonts have only iso8859-8 and not iso10646-1, like a certain
set of fonts I wish to avoid ATM).

So far I managed to use them with a number of programs, but failed to use
them with both AbiWord and OpenOffice . I suspect that the reason is the
same:

  $ LC_CTYPE=he_IL.ISO-8859-8 AbiWord

  Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C

With OpenOffice I have the fonts displayed in the fonts list (after I
installed them with spaadmin) but the font name is not rendered in its own
font. I get '!2CTev' instead. And the fonts don't display anything.

I tried to add the locale he_IL.ISO-8859-8 using either (as root):

  localedef -f ISO-8859-8 -i en_US he_IL.ISO-8859-8

or:

  localedef -f ISO-8859-8 -i he_IL he_IL.ISO-8859-8

both finished successfully. I had no problems showing a 'date' of he
created locale (it showed an English date in the first case, and a
Hebrew-ISO-8859-8 date in the second case)

Still, I get the warning.

I looked at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir :

  iso8859-8/XLC_LOCALE                    he_IL.ISO8859-8

(the file exists)

and locale.alias of the same dir maps several locales to he_IL.ISO8859-8
but nothing more.

glibc-2.2.5-39
XFree86-4.2.0-8

What's next?
