great,

$LANG was not set at all
(in what file should i set it to make it system global ? )

i did: export LANG=he_IL

now i have hebrew fonts !!!


but i have a strange mix: the letter in the words are not mirrored but the words in the sentence are mirrored !

anyway, there is no 'he' directory under /usr/share/locale
as i didnt find hebrew locale for the ipaq's 'familiar' distribution, i wonder - should i just copy it from redhat 9 for i386 ? will it work


thanks,
erez.

I had that problem when setting the language to he_IL.UTF-8 since the
hebrew text, at list from the hebrew keymap was generated as iso8859-8
and not utf8 and thus showed up as garbage.
Try setting LANG=he_IL
also check /usr/share/locale/he/cups_he at the top the charmap is
supposed to appear.
I am not sure though that you will find the file at the exact same place
since I use debian and there is a tendency for different locations for
files.

my gtk2 apps converts every font into utf8 and then displays it.


Every "font"? You mean - every text file you open?



whenevev i display hebrew chars i get just lines and signs (e.g. junk)


You're opening a file with the wrong (not UTF-8) encoding?



the same app works of on my pc, but not on my ipaq


The same app? What app?
