The application handles directionality. Many applications have directionality issues, but I've never come across one in Linux that displayed text backwards (in Hebrew or English). > From the character? > -> How could LyX guess whether I write German vs. English, or Russian vs. > Bulgarian or Hebrew vs. Jiddish? > Here is where I think that the term "language" is important to _not_ be used. It doesn't matter in what language I'm writing, but different alphabets have different directionality. There is a whole law (study) of the field that is usually called bidi.

I will ask on the Israeli Linux list about Lyx and LaTex in Hebrew. I will file the appropriate bugs. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ا-ب-ت-ث-ج-ح-خ-د-ذ-ر-ز-س-ش-ص-ض-ط-ظ-ع-غ-ف-ق-ك-ل-م-ن-ه-و-ي А-Б-В-Г-Д-Е-Ё-Ж-З-И-Й-К-Л-М-Н-О-П-Р-С-Т-У-Ф-Х-Ц-Ч-Ш-Щ-Ъ-Ы-Ь-Э-Ю-Я а-б-в-г-д-е-ё-ж-з-и-й-к-л-м-н-о-п-р-с-т-у-ф-х-ц-ч-ш-щ-ъ-ы-ь-э-ю-я ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü
