So we can maybe ask mandrake to make a default font in gtkrc.he, a font
which they supply with mandrake ? (I guess they supply some, don't they
?).

Sure it's possible (Though I didn't know that way, thanks :) ). The
question is how important it is to translate programs to hebrew.

Me too. I feel more at home :)

That's exactly what I was talking about.

I know. that was a long time ago, when I still didn't use these.

It's done automatticly. I guess that when GTK feels bla&h it makes 'h' as
the keyboard shortcut. so when it's replaced by gettext with <damn, can't
type hebrew in pico for some reason! weird. it used to work> some hebrew
word, it'll also work.
Cya,
