You should have on your toolbar a RTL and a LTR button, that set the paragraph directionality. Set the RTL one and you should be fine :-)
We don't do Windows; haven't for almost 8 years now. We're using the Type1
'alephbet' typeface on Slackware.
Hmm... I don't know that font. Is it a unicode one (it needs to be unicode for Hebrew to work properly)?
Anyway, the best Hebrew fonts for Linux are the type1 culmus fonts, which you can get from:
http://culmus.sf.net
Also, all the above is assuming that you have set you X keyboard layout to include a Hebrew layout.
If you haden't you will need to edit you X configuration file, and have something similar to this (from my xorg.conf file on my gentoo box):
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
Option "XkbVariant" ",lyx"
In the configuration above, I have set the alt+shift as the combination to switch between Hebrew and English layouts. Feel free to change it if you like :-)
