I know Hebrew text reads from right to left. But the
Hebrew text is showing up from left to right throughout.

Finally got the Unicode font to work. I had to rerun
mkfontdir after changeing the fonts.scale file by hand.
It didn't work just copying over the fonts.dir file.

Here's what I had to do to get Bitstream Cyberbit font
to work with GnomeSword:

(1) Run ttmkfdir in my .../TTF directory
(2) Edit the fonts.scale file by hand. (Adding the
extra line for the iso10646-1 and adding 1 to the top
number)
(3) Run mkfontdir

Running Slackware 8.1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu
KDE 3.01
GnomeSword

p.s. I find it odd that Bibletime did not even need
Bitstream Cyberbit Hebrew and Greek fonts showed up
without any modification. However, Bibletime did need
Bitstream Cyberbit for the Hebrew Vowel Points.

    This was on Gnomesword 0.7.8 Forgot to include that on the
    report.

    This is a GtkHTML problem.
