I'm the transcriber of the Hebrew bible into Unicode/XML at http://www.tanach.us/Tanach.xml
Hebrew text, a right-to-left text with complex markings, has terrible rendering problems. At present, Mac OS X is the only system on which Firefox doesn't yield satisfactory rendering. In fact, it doesn't even recognize the font. If someone knows a trick to get any version of Firefox rendering Hebrew on Mac OS X, I'd be glad to pass it on to site viewers. With Firefox 2 on Linux systems, improved rendering is obtainable by using Pango via export MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1. Rendering is perfect on all Windows systems from 2000 and above. On Mac OS X recent pre-releases of Gran Paradiso recognize the required font, but the rendering is characteristic of not having Pango enabled. Is there a config or command line option that I can use to improve Hebrew text rendering on Gran Paradiso on Mac OS X? Thanks, Chris Kimball Redding, CT P.S. http://www.tanach.us/Fonts/FontTest.html shows examples of correct rendering. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-layout mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-layout
