Re: Reading Hebrew sites with Netscape
Also, modifiying Netscape to use Hebrew would only apply to a single version. If we really want this to work, we need them to add BIDI support to the core development. This way, every Mozilla will support Hebrew. Ben-Nes Michael wrote: First i don't have the technical knowledge so i can tribute them in any way.

Re: Reading Hebrew sites with Netscape
Hi I think that it will be wise that someone from the list that have deep knowledge in what have to be done will contact netscape support.

If you have Eli's H.fonts package installed, fonts from there won't work -- if you select one of them, Netscape simply loads the standard "fixed" font instead. I don't know why it happens. The Fixed (Misc) font is good enough to read Hebrew sites though. Go to walla and see how it automatically switches to Hebrew for you. :-) Alex, Your hack works nicely. However, it's certainly possible to use other fonts than "fixed". If you install a TrueType font server, such as xfstt or xfsft, you can use Hebrew TrueType fonts. I use the fonts from... err... Windows, and they work fine with Netscape.
