<LI>Hebrew package by Joseph Friedman. It includes some Hebrew fonts in BDF

<LI>A very simple Hebrew package. Includes only right-to-left cursor movement

|
<P>For a VC dosemu you can use your Hebrew from the Video card EPROM, and if
|
|
you don't have it there are plenty of Hebrew dos fonts from EGA support to
|
|
the VGA Hebrew support.
|
|
<P>For X-Windows support you should download the file:

it's contain some fonts include one called vgah.pcf that you should install

|
it on your fonts directory as describe

|
<P>There is a main port of the regular X-Term program for use with a Hebrew
|
|
fonts - XHTerm = xterm + Hebrew support. The port for a sun machine was
|
|
made avalible by the help of Danny
|
|
<A HREF="mailto:danny@cs.huji.ac.il"><tt>danny@cs.huji.ac.il</tt></A>. Evgeny has some patch for use this port
|
|
under Linux. His version should come with a pre-compiled XHTerm for both
|
|
X11R5 and X11R6. You should use xhterm with the option <CODE>-fn</CODE> and a Hebrew
|
|
font
|
|
<A HREF="Hebrew-HOWTO-4.html#xterm-font">as described</A>!
|

Danny's port (for SUN) can be obtained from:

<H2><A NAME="ss6.6">6.6 TeX--XeT - Hebrew Tex.</A>
|
|
</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>The bigest problem with Tex with Hebrew is that the charecters should go
|
|
backwards relative to Visual look (i.e. pico inserts the charecters from
|
|
right to left), so the best thing is to get XHterm with a regular emacs and
|
|
write the Hebrew left to right, backwards as well.
|
|
<P>The newer NTeX distribution on sunsite (v1.5) includes everything, including
|
|
TeX--XeT, precompiled for Linux. It can be obtained from
|
|
<A HREF="ftp://sunsite.unc.edu.gz/pub/Linux/apps/tex/ntex">ftp://sunsite.unc.edu.gz/pub/Linux/apps/tex/ntex</A>. An older version of
|
|
TeX--XeT can be obtained from
|
|
<A HREF="ftp://noa.huji.ac.il/tex">ftp://noa.huji.ac.il/tex</A>. This
|
|
older version, however, has to be recompiled (not recommended).
|
|
<P>These TeX distributions are fine if you use LaTeX2.09. If you want to use
|
|
LaTeX2e (the current de facto standard) you have a problem.
