|
|
<P>Any language setup, other than the original American English, has two
|
|
issues:
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI> Displaying the right characters (fonts) - for Hebrew it's
|
|
<CODE>ISO-8859-8</CODE> standard.</LI>
|
|
<LI> Mapping the keyboard. </LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
<P>There is much more to Hebrew than that (like right to left, geometry in
|
|
X-Windows,etc), but this HOWTO (at least for the first draft) deals only
|
|
with the basic issues.
|
|
<P>

<A NAME="ISO"></A> More information can be found in the various "national" HOWTOs
|
|
(German, Danish, etc.) and in the ISO 8859-1 HOWTO (<CODE>
