Re: Vista Hebrew fonts: who has them?
Oh, those fonts are unicode, and I can assure you that they do have Hebrew fonts. I use Arial from this download all the times on browser and many other applications (pidgin etc..).. They are unicode, but they do not seem to contain the Hebrew glyphs. Is there a way to open them to be certain? You can also copy the TTF files from your Vista or XP install and use ttmkfdir so your X can recognize those fonts. It should be in your c:\windows\fonts or something (look for TTF type files). I don't have Vista or XP, I have only ever seen the fonts on other peoples' computers. That is the reason that I started this thread, I need to find someone with Vista in Hebrew! -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: LinuxMCE
I am in norway and stambledI on this thread. I use my cell for writing so i try to make this short. I tried linuxMCE a few years ago but after a lot of frustration i gave it up(btw, mce uses myth/vdr anyway). I have a private sat dish and i use both mythtv and VDR. and sometimes XBMC on top. if you are planning to use DVB-S/S2 just get such card (i use hauppage nova hd dvb-s2 which was recomended on some forums and works well for me. You will need 2.6.28 for dvb-s2. I use the ubuntu 9.04). I heard of people that were able to watch sky on mythtv with a legal card and a card reader, dunno about yes (both sky and yes use NDS).

Re: Vista Hebrew fonts: who has them?
Sure, After you install msttcorefonts package, you can do a simple thing (I'm using KDE on Fedora 11, I don't know how to do this with GNOME): 1. Launch kfontview 2. select Open 3. go to /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/ 4. select arial.ttf for example 5. select to change the text and type something in Hebrew 6. The text will be reversed, but you'll be able clearly to see if the font has Hebrew support. I just tried it on Arial and Hebrew looks great.
