I am venturing in to the wild here and it will take multiple iterations for me to even get a "feel" for what needs to be happen. I am not even sure what is right or wrong here. Anyways... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Further to our exchange on the emacs-devel list, http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-11/msg00134.html I see that the file you passed me has no bi-directional markers whatsoever. I think presence of markers would affect how libreoffice would layout the table. I suggest that you pass me an Org file, that has the right bidi-paragraph-direction (as a local variable) and has the right set of bidi markers. (Furthermore, explicitly mark the org file as utf-8 coded. I am not sure what coding system the attachment is coded to. When I view the attachment in Gnus, I only see the latin characters.) ---------------------------------------------------------------- As for getting the table cells laid right, try this out. 1. Export a hebrew.org file to hebrew.odt 2. Open the .odt file in LibreOffice. F11->Page Style->Default Page Style->Page->Text Direction->Set it to "Right to Left". I think that this would set the predominant direction of your document. I believe, it would correspond to bidi-paragraph-direction setting. 3. File->Save as->somefile.ott Now in your hebrew.org file, add this directive #+ODT_STYLES_FILE: "hebrew.ott" This will make the exported document an R2L document. 4. Export again. See what happens ---------------------------------------------------------------- (The process is the same for setting your preferred font.)
