MSO in Wine: Hebrew backwards.

2008-09-02 Thread Dotan Cohen
I must install MS Office in Wine on Ubuntu Linux. It installs fine,
but the Hebrew is backwards. Googling the problem led me to this
video, which illustrates the problem:

Does anyone know how to fix this? I am on a full UTF-8 Hebrew locale,
if that is relevant. I installed MS Office 2003 in English on Kubuntu
8.04. Thanks in advance.

Debian Accessibility Presentation (forwarded from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list)

2008-09-02 Thread Omer Zak
The full link to a low resolution OGG format is:
http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2008/fosdem/ogg_theora/384x288/How_accessible_is_Debian___Samuel_Thibault.ogg

NOTE:
It is lacking captions (I already notified the lecturer), but according
what I saw from the presentation, the lecture should be a good one.

Maybe it would be interesting to give the URL to the fosdem presentation
I made?

"How accessible is Debian?"

Not really. I do believe they had some good reasons, mainly being
supporting as much hardware as possible in a sensible way. And I do
think that having a policy, and following it, is better than not having
any, as bizzare as this policy might be.
