Actually, you don't have to use MS fonts. Latest versions of XFree (since 4.0.3?) come with misc-fixed font for the encoding iso-10646-1 , that also cover the hebrew glyphs. It doesn't look pretty (espcially when you try to scale it) but it is sure much more readable than gibrish. Tip: try to play a bit with the sizes and find the exact size in which id does look reasonable. > > Just for the record I posted that Q after trying to > look at IOL (Sorry I didn’t try IGLU) finding IOL all > messed up with some upside fonts and garbage, Reading > TFM (The English one) and not finding anything useful > there so I asked u …….

"Does konqueror have hebrew support" can mean: * Are there any problems with fonts? [Generally not, but maybe for ISO-8859-8, depending on your version of QT] * Are there any problems with logical and visual hebrew? [mostly not, I believe that there are still a few minor bugs here and there, but nothing critical] * Can I type Hebrew [keyboard settings are not directly related to konqueror] * Can I print Hebrew [depends on your version of QT and KDE] Actually most people got the impression that you asked a general question, whereas you had a spesific problem. A short description of the problem would have been better, I believe: Konqueror does not display hebrew for me. I have this-and-that distro, recently installed, Version this-and-that of KDE.
