> I'm wondering if anyone has success with getting Russian and/or Hebrew fonts The Russian is trivial, it's called Cyrillic and generally works by replacing a Western font with a Cyrillic one in any word processor. It's installed for X11 and tetex/latex out of the box (though I can't say I tried). The Hebrew is much more of a pain, as it's not only written right-to-left, but also suffers from excessive accentitis (and you thought German was bad - ha, just tells you Americans/Kiwis how little you know :) ) and versionitis. There's at least old and new Hebrew, and so on (not that I really know either). TeX/LaTeX can handle one accent tacked on top or underneath without trouble, other positions are possible, with 2 accents you can do it but happy hacking, 3 and more are going to cost you some weeks at least. I am certain there is Hebrew support for LaTeX, CTAN is your friend. Ok I checked, there is hebrew mentioned in babel. It won't work with TeX as that doesn't support right-to-left, you need omegea or some such for it. There's an extensive 00readme.heb. > Volker mentioned SuSE 8.0 recently. Would support be there out-of-the-box? Yes, looks like it. SuSE hasn't shipped the .dtx documentation files for a while as far as I can make out (probably space constraints, afterall 7 CDs isn't that much), but they're there in dvi form. > Do either KWord or Abiword support right-to-left? I really doubt it. Check staroffice.
