The simplest thing is just to set LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 or LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [*] . It is also possible to set: LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=C to avoid programs from using Hebrew as their language. This is normally set in /etc/environment or explicitly by the DM (gdm/kdm) when you login. Make sure also that such a locale exists. Though the DM normally only knows how to set LANG and not something more complex. [*] en_US.UTF-8 is generally a bad choice for locale definitions, as they use a different date format, printer page size, mesurment units, etc. en_GB.UTF-8 is closer to what we have -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | | friend = 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]

wget -r retrieves everything.

Re: wget -r retrieves everything.
Hey, Thanks. I red the wget man, saw the -np option but eventually failed to realize that is the solution. I think a second thought about wget defaults should be invested or typical profiles should be designed and documented clearly. In my opinion, many people use RTFM too fast. I like your JATFM, as personally I find most of the documents, even though have been improved significantly, are still really difficult to understand. It seems to me that the documents use students jargons and speech style - no offense. Also I keep getting that disturbing feeling of some kind of vanity from the document as if it is trying not to explain a subject but to show how smart the writer is.

[S-OP]About HSpell
Hi, list. I have a slightly off topic question. I use a phpBB forum and the most annoying thing there is are people who cannot write correct Hebrew. So, now I want to try and add hspell based spell checking when people submit the message it will first require them to correct it. The real question is: Do you know how can I combine PHP and HSpell together ? Is there already something like this someone done ? Thanks, Alon.
Re: [S-OP]About HSpell
Might not be the best way, but check http://il.php.net/manual/en/ref.exec.php But than you should only have static interface (or do something with php/javascript to suggest alternates to the mis-spelled words).

A new fancy font from Culmus
Hello all, I’m still alive. Besides that, a new font named “Anka” is available for download from the “Fancy fonts” section of the Culmus site (http://culmus.sourceforge.net/). Unlike in past releases, this time I chose to publish in addition the OpenType version of the font. Unfortunately, most Linux applications don’t support OpenType, or support it only partially: Gedit and Kword can both display it, but fail to print. OO and Abiword on Linux don’t even recognize it, while Abiword on Windows displays and prints it just fine, so I guess OO+Windows will work too. MS Word supports the OpenType version too, except for WordArt. In fact, in Windows you even get some rudimentary kerning, which is supposed to make font look a little better in print. In an unrelated issue, in Windows the font is listed under its Hebrew name as אנקה, and can be found at the very bottom of the list of fonts. Your comments and suggestions are welcome. Maxim.
Re: [S-OP]About HSpell
Hi, Thanks for the suggestion, but I was looking for something more elegant as hspell requires file as input. It's not support piping. Or maybe I am wrong ? I will await Nadav suggestions.

Re: A new fancy font from Culmus
Quoting Maxim Iorsh, from the post of Tue, 18 Oct: Hello all, I’m still alive. Besides that, a new font named “Anka” is available for download from the “Fancy fonts” section of the Culmus site (http://culmus.sourceforge.net/). very cool! pretty font, I'm off to test it now! Good work on the kerning, I love a good font... One note to Baruch Even - if it wasn't for this post, I would not have heard of the fancy fonts section and would not have downloaded it... any chance those fonts could be added to culmus or packaged as culmus-fancy on Debian? -- Foreign barbarian Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ = 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]
