Description boazrubin 2003-06-11 22:25:38 UTC 
tried to add hebrew fonts (via spadmin) - but they wouldn't open.
in openoffice 1.0 the fonts were added by just installing the font's rpm
Comment 1 Dieter.Loeschky 2003-06-13 08:53:28 UTC 
DL->HDU: Would you please takeover?
Comment 2 hdu@apache.org 2003-06-16 10:04:16 UTC 
Where does one find the Culmus fonts?
Comment 3 sforbes 2003-06-17 07:34:54 UTC 
culmus fonts can be found at
http://culmus.sourceforege.net

They are also part of Redhat 9, debain and Gentoo

At the moment they are the only good true free (as in speach) fonts
that support Hebrew.
Comment 4 hdu@apache.org 2003-06-17 11:07:16 UTC 
HDU->PL: The problem is caused because psprint wrongly 
thinks  Culmus fonts have a RTL_TEXTENCODING_SYMBOL 
character set.
Comment 5 hdu@apache.org 2003-06-17 11:11:18 UTC 
Changing component to GSL.
Comment 6 philipp.lohmann 2003-06-17 15:49:50 UTC 
Actually not finding the font was probably a matter of issue 12936
(adjacent .afm files were not found), but also the encoding
(ISO10646-1) was not know for type1 fonts (and actually it is wrong, a
type1 font cannot really be Unicode encoded as it has only an encoding
vector containing 256 entries). Now one can also print the /uniXXXX
glyphs inside the font, but if they are mixed with latin the bidi
algorithm seems to go awry. I'll investigate further.
Comment 7 philipp.lohmann 2003-06-17 17:31:05 UTC 
pl->hdu: please have a look at the bidi strangeness when printing
Comment 8 hdu@apache.org 2003-06-18 09:22:32 UTC 
The BiDi issue when printing a RTL portion with a font where 
fontunits>1 and when printer independant formatting is 
enabled is now also fixed.
Comment 9 hdu@apache.org 2003-06-25 09:43:16 UTC 
Reassigned for verification in CWS VCL13.
