Another bidi OO prob
Hi. I'm using bidi OO from the binaries at ILUG on MDK 8.2. Overall it runs great (though, very heavy on resources). However, I've encountered one disturbing prob: in hebrew mode, the double quotes () always appear in the wrong order - i.e., as if I was writing in english. Is that a problem in the bidi patch or is something is wrong with my settings? I have set LANG=he_IL before lunching OO.

Re: OpenOffice with BiDi support.
How did you manage to convert the deb to rpm? I tried alien, but it get the following message: alien -f bidi-openoffice.org_1.0.0-4_i386.deb Control file couldn't be read! at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Alien/Package/Deb.pm line 161. I am using Mandrake 8.2, and I got this message both from the alien package that comes with the system and from the latest version that I've installed by myself (version 8.07). where did I go wrong? thanks, Itai.

Obviously, $PACKAGE is expanded with the package name. Hopefully, tar should output the string ./control.

Security Question for LM 8.0
Hi! I run a mandrake 8.0 box, and tend to check the security logs (but not everyday). Yesterday, i got the following set of warnings in the security log: Change in Suid Root files found : - Added suid root files : /bin/linuxconf - Added suid root files : /bin/mount - Added suid root files : /bin/ping - Added suid root files : /bin/su [etc] . . . Security Warning: Changes in Suid Group files found : Added suid group files : /sbin/netreport Added suid group files : /usr/bin/cdda2wav Added suid group files : /usr/bin/kdesud [etc] . . . the list of each set of files is quite long, and includes things like ssh, gpg, rsh, rlogin, suexec etc. but also boring things like man and restorefont i have not done anything that i can think of, which would have resulted in these changes, and have never seen anything like this in the logs before, so i am a bit worried. On the other hand, the list of files seems rather long, and while it includes important files, it also includes some that are of little interest to someone trying an exploit. perhaps mandrake ran some script which made these changes?? any ideas as to what this might be would be much appreciated, as right now, i am too paranoid to even hook my computer to the internet. Most of my services, like ssh, telnet, ftp, httpd are *always* disabled - so hack seems unlikely. 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]

fonts in AbiWord 0.99.2
Well here's another chapter in the endless pathetic saga of fonts/bidi in abiword... I have downloaded the latest source (version 0.99.2) and compiled with bidi and gnome support. To compile it, I used the instructions from the BUILD (not BUILD.TXT !) file. I did /autogen.sh /configure --prefix=/opt --enable-bidi --enable-gnome make make install surprisingly, it worked... compiling went smoothly. I then went to the tough part - making my window ttf hebrew ariel font work. I followed the instructions in /docs/AbiWord_and_Unix_Fonts.zabw: I have created a subdirectory /opt/share/AbiSuite/fonts/ISO-8859-8 and put there the ariel ttf fonts. I created an appropriate fonts.dir + fonts.scale files, where there is only the ISO-8859-8 encoding for each font. Then, I have executed the script /ttfadmin.sh /opt/share/AbiSuite/fonts/ISO-8859-8 ISO-8859-8 to create some other font files (for printing?) Finally, I set my LANG, LC_TYPE, LC_ALL to he_IL.ISO-8859-8 (In their instructions they used the encoding iw_IL.ISO-8859-8 - but what is iw ???) and run abiword. I get this message: Abiword was not able to the X font path. This does not mean that thre is anything wrong with your system, but you will need to modify your font path manually. Please see 'Unix Font Path Problem' in the FAQ section of the Abiword help file for more detailed information, including instructions on how to turn this warning off. BTW: This message also showed up even *before* I tried to install the hebrew fonts - i.e., before I created the subdirectory etc... Of course, the FAQ staff is useless as all the documentation of this project is not syncronized with itself... The program still runs... However: I cannot see the hebrew ariel font! I mean I don't see it in the list of available fonts. I only see ariel font which is supplied by abisoft. Consequently, When I switch to hebrew keyboard and I try to type - I get empty circles instead of the letters of our holly language. The bidi is working - I mean it changes the typing direction etc.. but still I cannot see hebrew. When I look into the script of abiword that add the fonts path - I see it does everything ok. I see that it actually does the xset fp+ to the subdirectory with the hebrew fonts. If I issue this command manually - I can see my hebrew fonts on gfontsel - which means that the fonts and fonts.dir are OK. Y My system is: Mandrake 8.1 . Any ideas? Thanks, Itai.

Does ttmkfdir extract iso10646-1 encodings as well? Well in Mandrake 8.0 you have the option to import the window fonts. The fonts are copied to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/drakefont and a fonts.dir file is created by the some script. This file also include iso10646-1 entries. I think that in the previous version (7.2) these entries were not created. Anyhow, that's where I took the entries from. Now when I run abiword I can use these ttf fonts only in english.

It needs to be in a spesific subdirectory: he-IL.UTF-8 . Note the - instead of _. Yes, well I tried that and it didn't work. Actually if I put it there, abiword does not even load them. Actually, I suggest that this directory will be a symlink to a directory that X uses (either idrectly or indirectly through xfs). Maybe try removing all the fonts from the main directory, to prevent name clashes: Maybe it already has another Arial. There is no clash. If you have two fonts with the same name, they will both appear in the list. It is also easy to identify which font is beeing used since the ttf fonts are much nicer than those supplied by abiword. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir 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]
