Re: Hebrew Support StarOffice 5.1
With SO5.1, I couldn't open Hebrew Word files. With SO5.2 Preview, this works fine. Of course, the Hebrew is backwards...

From what I tried - you can get a resonable look from using the ElMar fonts. Please let me know if using those fonts makes it look resonble, or if you have any problems with setting them. Note that unlike a standard wysiwyg word-processor the size of the screen fonts is not critical, as the rendering is done by latex with a different set of fonts, and lyx does not assume too much about the size of the screen fonts [please correct me if I'm wrong, Dekel]. Actually I have used it from an X terminal for which I can't set resonable fonts, and I had to settle for using fixed fonts (with strange sizes) for it. It took some time to get used-to, but nothing really terrible.
