Hi,

I've been trying crossover office, which works pretty fine, but didn't
success using hebrew on it.

What I see when users typing hebrew is the letters a, o, u, e, i for
some reasons instead of hebrew chars. a weird one.

Is it known to work with hebrew at all? Does anybody have a url where I
can learn how to configure wine/crossover office in hebrew?

Toda! :)

The problem you describe happened to me on one occasion. I don't know exactly what caused it. I eventually had to reinstall crossover for unrelated reasons, and the problem disappeared.

Two important questions, though:
A. What is your locale (the output of "locale").

In my case all en_US, which is why you need the LANG=he_IL in the command line.


B. How is your keyboard set up? Do you use one of the keyboard switching, or are you on XKB?

I'm using the vanilla KDE that comes with SuSE 8.1. I cahnge KB by clicking the little flag icon on the toolbar, which toggles between Hebrew and English keyboard input.



Does the problem happen with vanilla Wine as well (I have yet to see it happen there)?


Bear in mind that, due to the way Word decides which direction each given character is, there is a limit to how well it will work even if you solve your particular problem. You will find that you either get Word that does correct English, or Word that does correct Hebrew, and places the English letters in the most unexpected places. The deciding factor will be whether there was anything Hebrew in your locale when Word was run (i.e. - LANG, LC_CTYPE, etc.)

I have not had time to work on this particular problem, as it involves rewriting major parts of the Wine keyboard handling functions.
