Cannot see hebrew fonts in abiword
Hi List, I am trying (realy hard) to get bidi-abiword work on my Mandrake 8.0 linux. So I compiled abiword-0.7.14-2 (with bidi enabled) and installed it just as they say you should. HOWEVER: I cannot get the hebrew to work!! I wish to work with *unicode* hebrew. So I this is what I did: 1. Modified XF86Config-4 file so it would have hebrew keymap (according to the instructions in IGLU) 2. Defined LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 3. Copied some ttf fonts from Window (Arial + Courier New) to the AbiSuite/font directory and added only the iso-10646-1 entries to the fonts.dir, fonts.scale files Now when I run abiword I can use these ttf fonts only in english. When I pass to hebrew (pressing left-shfit + right-shift), I get some undifined symbols on the screen. However, the BiDi mechanisem seems to work well - that is, the direction of writing changes as it should. I think it actually idetifies the hebrew letters becuase when I save the file as utf8, and browse it in an utf-8 enabled xterm - I see just what I wrote. However, I cannot see it on the screen... btw: the utf8 enabled xterm works just fine, and shows the hebrew letters (*) I also tried to put the ttf fonts in a UTF-8 subdirectory under AbiSuite/fonts (If I understood the vauge instructions of abiword) - but then abiword did not recognize them... Any suggestions? Thanks, Itai. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think that the 'hebrew' map of recent versions of the kbd package is correct, but before (before 1.0.4, or maybe before 1.0.5) it was an incorrect layout. X uses a seperate keyboard mapping.

Re: Hebrew keyboard
For console you should set keyboard mode to utf8 by kbd_mode -u, then use loadkeys to load your table, and the default table it loads is either /lib/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.kmap or /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.map An example I prepared for persian is attached.

Re: X font problem
Dear Micha! To sort the confusion (and since I've dealt with the same issue before), here are a couple of comments: 1. The unix/:-1 thing is very simple. unix stands for transport. / has to preceed the hostname. If the host is local, than the column follows the slash. And the last part is the number of the port, which for unix sockets, is -1. So - if You want to use Your font-server's resources - first check which transport/port does it serve on. And than add it to the fontpath. 2. A font directory is quite tricky. It needs to have a fonts.dir file. For Type1 Type2 fonts, run: `mkfontdir fonts.dir` For True-type fonts, run: `mkfontdir fonts.scale` The next step is to generate the encoding for the fonts. Well - in short, it is a list of all encodings support by each font. To generate it You need to know where the encoding control files are locate. Usually it is in: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings and usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/large Well - it is usual for X11 v4+, but it may be different someplace else. You may also want to use alternative and additional encodings (??? Well, it may well be - after all, this is linux!). So - to generate the encoding listing, run mkfontdir in the following manner: `mkfontdir -e [encoding directory 1] -e [encoding directory 2] ...` until You run out of encoding dirs. After You're through with this, fonts are loadable (suposably). 3. Font-server configuration is located someplace on the disk. Finding this location is quite easy - look in Your xfs startup file. The default location may be found through man xfs. Once You have stumbled upon xfs config file, add the paths that You've added and made ready (proccess 2) and... Well - first, shut down Your X11 server. (BTW: if You have it loaded on startup, look for the instructions below). Than restart Your xfs. Start X11 again and run xfontsel - a program that allows You to review all Your fonts. If You found the new fonts there - fine. If You havn't, that means something went wrong. 4. XF86Config The default path for it is /etc/X11/. But, it may be someplace else. The true location of the XF86Config file may be learned by different means, but if You ran out of all of them, there is a rather simple way of finding that out. Rename /etc/X11/XF86Config (or any other suspect) to, let's say, /etc/X11/FX86Config.hidden and try to start (restart) X11. If the X11 goes bananas (i.e. refuses to start) - than You've got the right one. Well - this is a brutal yet efficient way of locating configuration files... Unless we're talking about production server or services that are vinal for machine's life...:) 5. You've configured X11 to start upon system startup and it won't shutdown. Besides some very brutal ways there is a bit more civilized way to stop the loading of X11 upon system startup. In Your inittab (/etc/inittab) there is a line that ensures that X11 runs. It usually refers to /etc/X11/prefdm but it may refer to another place as well. Commenting out this line, saving the file and restarting the machine (btw: You have to be root in order to do all that) would do the trick. Uncommenting this line and restarting the machine again would undo this trick. Whilest configuring font-paths and other tweaks You can always manually start an X11 session by running startx. Again - this is not a way for a production machine or a server... But if You intend to run X11 server on a production machine, than, well... I hope You won't, that's all. 6. xset solutions If You do not wish or feel unable to engage in a long and complex journey into the land of X11 configuration, You can simply setup an xset sequence upon session startup - just for Your private pleasure. If You're using GNOME or KDE, You even have a very pleasant, GUI accomplished way of doing so. Again - the font-directory part has to be done anyways.

So - if You want to use Your font-server's resources - first check which transport/port does it serve on. And than add it to the fontpath. Just a small off-topic clarification: Unix-domain sockets (see man unix(7)) do not have port numbers; Instead, the address for a unix-domain socket is a file name (which is created with the socket() command, or a nameless file is created with socketpair() - see the above manual for more information). Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that -1 isn't exactly a port number, but rather a hint the X server and/or font server use to find this file. For example, in my Redhat 7.1 installation, I have in XF86CONFIG FontPath unix/:7100 This 7100 is not a port number, since unix-domain sockets do not have port numbers (an example where this would have been a port is with the tcp transport: tcp/somecomputer.com:7100 - see man X(7) for more info). This 7100 tells X to use the local file: # ls -l /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100 srwxrwxrwx1 xfs xfs 0 Jul 9 23:15 /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100 Which the font server (xfs) is listening on. Note the s in the beggining of the ls -l line: this says this is a special unix-domain *s*ocket file.

When I turn eth0 interface up i see the indicator in the hub that it is connected. When the interface is responding and if i ping i can see that hub indicates traffic. But once i try to get any heavy network activity or just upload/download any file the interface goes down. The hub still idicates that the computer is connected but event when i ping it is not indicates any traffic. I have only one NIC on that PC.

I know NICs sometimes don't like to share irq, especially with another NIC (at least from my experience). BTW, (assuming you have one), have you watched the light on your NIC before/after it "stops responding"? On Thu, 5 Jul 2001, Stiven Andre wrote: Hi.
