And thar's the rub! The newer office applications have at long last gone over to Unicode. Dagesh, the first and for clearness and ease of use, still the better of the multilingual WPs never made that step because the parent company died of fear of big-bill-gates :-(. I worked on the filters. Used to be, one exported to RTF and this came into most Word versions perfectly. No more--the Dagesh RTF filters were good--I wrote them. But Microsoft more or less says: Its our language and you'll use it our way. It was a never ending chase of one's tail to keep up with their nonsense. Dagesh RTF will no longer go into word or open office or any of them. For the same reason as the non-latin fonts will not work through wine. The newer apps are Unicode. If the winemakers can come up with an interface to solve this problem, please do it so that it can be used/packaged under Windows as a simple filter as well. Will make a lot of folks happy! For now, HTML export is the only bridge to Word et al. Dagesh is being maintained by Galtech--contact Gadi Doron at gadid@xxxxxxxxxxxxx about evaluations copies for such purposes. I have not heard about open-sourcing but as one of the developers, I'd go for it--and I am most probably available (more particulars under private cover). _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
