Re: [Licq-devel] hebrew fonts

README.LOCALE doesn't help much...

I have fonts that work fine with other apps. I have no other qt2
currently app to test this.

Anyone managed to get other 8bit languages (if that is the correct
term) with licq/qt2 ?

BTW: the fonts browser only shows me iso8859-1 fonts (the
"script" dropdown has only the value "Western (iso 8859-8)". I set the
font name manually. 
The font is indeed used - when I use a 8859-8 font I get different
gibrish:
when I use -monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-0-iso8859-1 I
get the standard gibrish instead of hebrew - a bounch of accented letters.
When I use -monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-0-iso8859-8 I
get different chars - some of the hebrew chars appear as "?".

I've tried some other fonts with similar results. I don't want to play to
much with the fonts, as it seems that a non-proper font name leads to a
segfault. 

BTW: please cc me any reply - this list is quite busy...
