Using a symbol font is improper, and doesn't actually spit out proper
Greek. Greek characters exist in Unicode, but if you use Symbol you are
actually using the ASCII characters, not the Greek ones. In addition you
can't properly represent accents with Symbol.
With Hebrew, it's more than right-to-left. In Hebrew, the vowels go
beneath the letters, and sometimes there are other marks as well (accent
marks, the sheva, etc). In fact, most people don't know this, but the
Hebrew bible originally had no vowels, spaces, or punctuation.

Does anyone know how to write Greek in Linux? I'm using a standard US
Keyboard. I found a little information at

but it doesn't tell how to type in the Greek into applications, or which
applications support complex writing layouts.
Any links would be appreciated. Also, if anyone knows how to do the same
with Hebrew...
Not sure about Greek. Can't you just use the font Symbol?
But if you're trying to write document in Hebrew, you may want to check
Abiword out. It has a bi-directional support (Right to left and Left to right
typing).
