Its parent? Its grandparent? again, put a font from your windows install in the dir I told you. Then restart the setup program. OO likes TTF's give it some TTF's just for your headaches :) Then in spadmin, you will hopefully see hebrew. Add the culmus fonts, you will find them in /usr/share/fonts/type1/he or something: depends on which version of culmus are you using, the RH one or the one from Maxim. I assume you know how to use rpm to query the list of files a package provides. (sorry, I am using Mandrake here). When you set up the fonts in spadmin, delete the ttf file from your dir, and be hapy :) -- diego, Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
