Bank HaPoalim vs. Mozilla update
Hello, Today I've talked to their technical support again -- first to a girl named Karin, then to a guy named Asaf, reporting yet another problem with their site when using Mozilla. On the downside, they don't support Mozilla, not even on Macintosh, except for trivial issues (surely nothing that'll involve the development team). This is their policy until they decide otherwise. This is worse than the policy I've heard more than a year ago, of only supporting Mozilla on Mac. It should be noted that they never fixed their site in response to any of my requests. On the upside, they know to group Mozilla with Netscape and Firefox -- they know they're the same thing, so there is some awareness (and maybe I'm not the only one calling them), even if this awareness is about stuff we don't support. He also could pinpoint other parts of the site which don't work with Mozilla properly. The later one, Asaf, said he'll forward my complaint in the Hatzaot Yeul report. Not very comforting. -- So, if your banking site doesn't work on your Mozilla browser or your OS (be it Linux or Mac), call the bank and let them know.

Re: Bank HaPoalim vs. Mozilla update
Alon Altman wrote: Bank HaPoalim works fine for me in Mozilla. What problems did you notice? There are problems with certain functionalities. For example, when doing a fund transfer, if you select Bank Hapoalim as the target bank, the Shem Mutav field should disappear. On Mozilla, it doesn't. More over, if you focus this field, it'll cause an endless loop of message boxes saying something along the lines of Shem Mutav not required for this bank. There are other functionalities of the site which simply don't work on Mozilla. Regardless, expect the site's menus to be *always* reversed (no matter how many times you press Reload) on Mozilla 1.8, ever since bug 246700 was fixed.

Re: Nikkud on QT will get fixed in the next version
Hi Arie, I would like to know what problems did you find regarding nikud in Qt, as I did not find any.

Hi Arie, I would like to know what problems did you find regarding nikud in Qt, as I did not find any. Which Qt version? which distro (as they patch those libraries quite a lot, you will find sometimes bugs on the official versions, and not in distos ones) Well, when displaying nikkud, everything except for the dagesh is all right. The dagesh, however, appears shifted to the left, touching the left leg of the letter (think heh or 'het). When printing, however, all diacritics are shifted half a position to the left, basically what OOo does, except that OOo doesn't even do it right on screen, something which Qt mostly does correctly (see dagesh above). Some users claim not to have experienced these problems, but Qt's staff reproduced the buggy results with Qt-text, a small demo app. You can check out the attachments to the kde bug report: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96858 BTW, I just noticed that I posted the wrong url in my initial post. So, I am copying in the list. Arie = 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]

pppd warnings about mtu/mru for the pppoe plugin
Following the advice of Debian's ppp maintainer, I am trying the rp-pppoe.so pppd plugin. Up to now I used the pppoe package. Any comments so far? It bothers me that syslog has several warnings about Couldn't increase MTU to 1500 Couldn't increase MRU to 1500 I have tried to set the mtu and mru directives in the configuration file as well as ifconfig eth mtu to something, but it didn't help. Googling shows that many people got that warnings but no definite solution. So far I didn't encounter real problems. As an aside, here are some quotations from the changelog.Debian.gz file: ppp (2.4.2+20040428-4) unstable; urgency=medium * Updated patch pty_command_timeout, which broke the pty command.

There are a number of filters that conver plain text with markup to

MS-Word can read both HTML and RTF. HTML has much better support of
logical styles that can hopefully be somehow preserved in a
MS-Word-html conversion.
Also see docutils_ for a very powerful yet readable text markup convertable to
HTML and LaTeX. Some people are writing whole books with it!
Simple subscripts and superscripts are already supported_.

I have plans to add cleaner Hebrew support but it's not ready yet.
