I took a look at the link, it looks okay. I'd have to check into Wx more. It seems I used it a long time back with ruby? Thanks On 01/12/2015 05:10 PM, Shawn H Corey wrote: On Mon, 12 Jan 2015 15:23:53 +0200 Shlomi Fish wrote: Actually, Perl/Qt and Perl/KDE should also support H

Hi, I talked to Shlomi Fish quite some time back about using Hebrew and a perl gui. The question was/is which gui? I seem to recall that gtk+ was about the only option that could do Hebrew properly. Is this correct, or is my memory soaked from the recent flooding? Dale/El'ad

Hi, I'm new to perl, but have been programming for a couple decades--self taught. 1) I've gotten perlTK to display two Paned windows, open two utf-8 files, and display them. However, the Hebrew vowels are not displayed correctly. The vowels are displayed at the cursor position
