Hi I'm in the process of re-trying fvwm.
I noticed that the recent development version claims to have some "internationalization" features. It turns out that those include bidi support and UTF-8 support. I haven't seen anything in the decs regarding arabic shaping, though. "Hebrew" appears mainly in window titles, and it is one of the small thins that currently bother me with my current IceWM setup. But this will also allow a Hebrew translation, to make fvwm Hebrew-Users-Friendly :-p It took some work to override the default latin1 fonts. I later realised that it would help to run: grep Font .fvwm/* .fvwm/.fvwm2rc When you run fvwm and have no fvwm config at all: no .fvwm/ and no fvwm2rc , you'll be presented with a minimal configuration. Click the mouse to get a menu that includes some "setup" forms. In case you have a UTF-8 locale and those forms look like a mess, try running fvwm temporarily with a C locale (LC_CTYPE). I still have not figured how to make Xft support work: I built fvwm with Xft support. I have a RedHat 7.3 system, and it has Xft1. I have no idea it is supposed to work, and so far I failed to make it work. Thus I currently stick with misc-fixed, as this is basically the only decent Hebrew font I have of unicode encoding. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= 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]
