Writing Hebrew text

#1 Post by ylposnick »

I would like to know how to install other languages into Puppy Linux, so that I can write an English text with some Hebrew words interspersed. Is there any set of easy step by step instructions to install Hebrew fonts and access them?

i would also select the way to switch from hebrew to english and back with alt-shift, you will find out how in the forums here. (meaning its pretty simple, just I don't remember offhand, however i do wish to call your attention to the fact). If you do alot of hebrew you may want to modify the "normal" template that abiword uses as default to choose dejavu as the default font and the writing direction from right to left.
