I had a look at QT 3.0 the other day, and BiDi indeed works. Gnome will be better though, as it will support nikkud and BiDi control characters, which Qt 3.0 beta doesn't. On the other hand, you'll have to wait much longer for gnome. Regards, Dov On Sat, Oct 13, 2001 at 05:46:40PM +0200,

The biggest problem of the Bidi in QT 3.0 is the hebrew/english mixing You put the first letter in english - the text will be LTR and hebrew will be put as a push mode. I explained it to lars - but so far, I haven't seen any solution for this. On Saturday 13 October 2001 17:46, Meni Livne
