hebrew printing
Hi Is there a way to print hebrew characters with the printer ? How ? I tried to print in hebrew with netscape and with my "hebgtk'ed" editor but with no success. I use RH6.2 with HP Deskjet 840c, configured with aspfilter-4.9.9 as cdj670 (the closest driver i could find).

In the latter case some software compoenet has to format it to visual Hebrew before printing. One simple way to do that is using the fribidi executable that comes with the fribidi package. See ftp://linux.org.il/pub/Hebrew/Scripts/log2vis Another thing that has to be handled is the font.

áòðééï: hebrew printing
Print Hebrew Characters: download that package: ftp://ftp.snunit.k12.il/pub/fonts/unix/netsc2heb-2.0.tar.gz there is a script to printing hebrew in Netscape(maybe it work with other programs...) here is the install notes for printing: ~~~ Printing To print with the WebHebrew fonts, use the script netsc2heb-print: Place netsc2heb-print as an executable file within your path. Next go into menu: File, Print..., change the Print command to: netsc2heb-print | E.g.: netsc2heb-print | lpr (If lpr submits to a Postscript printer or to a Postscript capable print filter and if $FONTS_PARENTDIR is /usr/lib/X11, otherwise edit netsc2heb-print accordingly) Click on "Print", go into main menu Options, Save Options. Now printing Hebrew should work too. As a test, if you have Ghostview operational, you can try the following print command in Netscape (after loading a Hebrew document into Netscape): netsc2heb-print>htest.ps;ghostview htest.ps& Ghostview should display the Hebrew page(s). If OK, you should now be able to display and print Hebrew html and text documents! ~~~ i will right on it a guide in the next few weeks... thanks OR - Original Message - From: Ishai Parasol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 20, 2000 1:34 AM Subject: hebrew printing > Hi > > Is there a way to print hebrew characters with the printer ?

Hebrew printing from KWord
This came up a few times, but there seem to be two kinds of kword users on list, those who managed to make Hebrew print and those who didn't. I have enabled font embedding with qtconfig. I installed ms-webfonts Arial, Courier New, Times New Roman and Tahoma. I disabled font substitution of Arial by Helvetica, and ticked on the enable support for right to left languages. Yet, when printing or previewing print jobs, I get only the latin characters of the page, and the rest is whitespace. Did anybody who had the problem solve it?

Hebrew printing with abiword.
How can I make abiword print Hebrew? I installed Hebrew fonts for it (And also installed them for ghostscript), I can create and edit Hebrew files, but when printing(either to a ps file or to the printer), I get gibrish or empty characters instead of Hebrew ones. If I'm not wrong, the problem is that Abiword sets the wrong encoding for the ps file it creates, how can I change this?

Re: Hebrew printing from KWord
Check one thing for me - try printing with the Culmus fonts. If that works, I believe your problem is the same as mine. I think my problem is that True Type fonts are not embedded in the resulting print file. This means that if I use Type 1 fonts (such as culmus), everything works, but if I use TT fonts (such as MS's), I don't get Hebrew printed. Someone claimed at the time that KDE is supposed to have this magical ability to convert TTF to Type-1 for printing purposes, but noone could give me any clue as to how to control this feature, and how to debug it.

KDE's KControl has a kcm module called 'Font Installer' which does not convert TTF to Type1, but it does create AFM files for TTF file it installs. Mandrake's drakfont utility does convert TTF files to Type-1 (and then goes ahead and installs both version - beats me why).

Very wonderful... except my RH8.0 with KDE3.1 from the aptget for rpm repository (see sourceforge) does not include this font installer. Is it a separate package? Can it be called from the command line? While we are at this, is there any sane way to make the system arrange the k menu in a less RedHat/Gnome centric way? (yeah, I could redo the entire hierarchy, but next upgrade, the whole thing has to be redone, especially as apps sometimes change names, plus I don't want to lose the automatic inclusion in menu of rpm installed package) Arie -- It is absurd to seek to give an account of the matter to a man who cannot himself give an account of anything; for insofar as he is already like this, such a man is no better than a vegetable. -- Book IV of Aristotle's Metaphysics = 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]

Re: Mozilla Hebrew Printing -SOLVED
Thanks to all who answered my email.
I followed the instructions that Zvi Har'El gave me and it solved the
problem.
On Fedora, Xprint did not run because somehow it was looking for the
"SecurityPolicy" file under "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/" and it wasn't
there.
I had to link "/etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy", where it usually resides,
to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/".
Now I can print hebrew with Mozilla on all my Distros.
Thanks again,

It really prints very nicely; I would remark that the Xprint server is really

Hebrew printing from OOo 2.0.1
Hi, When I print from OOo 2.0.1, in the page preview mode, everything looks good, but on paper some fonts get printed as "boxes" or not at all. I haven't checked all fonts, but, for example: Culmus fonts seem to all print properly - not surprising David (not the Culmus version) is OK too Times - nothing gets printed Arial - prints "boxes" Since the page preview looks good, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Well, I am not much of a guru in OO.o inner workings, but until recently there were two versions of OO.o, one patched with the x fontserver support and the one without it.

MmmmIf you add new fonts through xfs/fontconfig, do they show up in OO? The same for adding fonts through OO Printer Administration tool(this creates the symlinks in your home directory in OO config directory under "fonts").

Hebrew Printing (Sorry about the bad Subject the 1st time around)
Hi.
A while back I finally decided to take the plunge and set up Hebrew on
my Linux box.
Actually, it went pretty smoothly, and I now have Hebrew fonts and a
Hebrew keymap - everything is working quite well.
Today I was looking at some Hebrew web pages, and decided to print
something out. I was disappointed to see that all I get on the printed

for testing).
I googled around a bit and came up with the Hebrew Printing in KDE
document on IGLU. I followed the instructions for making fonts
available to ghostscript, and I checked using
gs prfont.ps
GS> / DoFont
and I see the fonts I added.
I started up kword, and created a simple file using the
Nachlieli-Light font. I verified that I can see the font using
GS> /Nachlieli-Light Dofont. Everything works fine. I printed the document
from kword to a ps file. However, when I print it, none of the Hebrew
shows up. I then tried to view it using gv. All I get is a blank page.
Here's the first lines from the ps file:

Every QT application should be able to print in Hebrew without doing anything special, assuming that you have Postscript or TrueType Hebrew fonts installed. On my machine, I need to set the locale to he_IL, otherwise font embedding doesn't work. Anyone knows why setting the locale affect the font embedding ?

Second, which printing technology (spooler) i.e. lpr, lprng, cups, cups+foomatic? Third, which printer are you trying to print onto? Is it postscript? Fourth, how is the printer connected? local port (lpr,tty,usb), remote ethernet? On another system? My experience which does not include Hebrew, is that Rh9 with cups works often, to make it work properly I had to add foomatic routines from linuxprinting.org that were missing, using linuxprinting.org's ppd (postscript printer definition) and configuring the printer using the cups html gui instead of the redhat gui. In addition you would have to add the Hebrew fonts to the ghostcript version that cups uses and the ppd. At home, Ihave a complicated setup though, I have 4 printers (2 laser, 2 inkjet) across 2 floor on 3 servers, one of them windows, 2 of them linux running samba and one also running netatalk. In the end it was worth it, you can print on any printer from any machine including linux (rh9 and YDL3) , windows, MacOS9 (PPC) and an emultated 68040 Mac (MacOS 7.5.5) running under linux. I also have other real UNIX* machines,e.g. A/UX, ESIX SYSVR4, Solaris, come and go depending upon my mood, space and electricity. They fit right in usually using cups' LPR support. The other words of wisdom I can offer is make sure to RIP the postcript on the server and if you have color inkjet printers define them twice, once as text and once as color (in my case photo quality). In fact one of my printers is attached via a parallel port to a RH7.2 system running LPR. :-( Instead of upgrading it to cups, I just direct everything to it to the printserver running cups on RH9 and have that server send via LPR the RIPed files as PCL.
