When you go into Hebrew mode, the fonts appear on the list, but no matter what you type, nada. No characters on screen, and no cursor movement, except a flicker perhaps. >> I'm suspecting that the font metrics of the fonts that came with the program are screwed up.

That way there is a chance that someone with experience with Hebrew fonts (like Shachar) might be able to jump in with some intelligent comments. Which, unfortunately, I don't have any to add here ;) I don't know enough about fonts. I can't say that I do either, but it seems to me that the problem is not necessarily the fonts themselves, but is more likely to lie in the fact that Hebrew is written right-to-left, and not left-to-right like English and other such languages. Wouldn't Wine have to have special support built in to recognize and properly display such languages? Native Windows programs need special support to do this (if they also display English), afaik. I'm sure that the program itself has such support, but if Wine does not support the support mechanisms, then there'd be a problem, I would think. I'm just speculating-- am I way off the beam?
