Hi all, I am trying to design a booklet and thought to use scribus, but when I switch to hebrew keyboard it won't type anything I type but nothing appears on the page. Has anyone used scribus for hebrew layout and if so how. If not what would you recommend to use instead. I have as a backup

I am not using hebrew, so my advice is unrelated to the specific problem. However, the graphics route is insanity incarnate. I suggest using OO draw - not great, but much better than text as graphics. If you like pain you can also use the layers feature of Gimp to design your brochure.
