The pine and it's additional editor pico had been changed by Helen Zommer
from CC-huji and has a bug-report mail:
pineh-bug@horizon.cc.huji.ac.il. It can be down-loaded from
ftp://horizon.cc.huji.ac.il/pub.
For a VC dosemu you can use your Hebrew from the Video card EPROM, and if
you don't have it there are plenty of Hebrew dos fonts from EGA support to
the VGA Hebrew support.
For X-Windows support you should download the file:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/fonts/hebxfonts-0.1.tgz
it's contain some fonts include one called vgah.pcf that you should install
it on your fonts directory as describe
above
the fonts are:
There is a main port of the regular X-Term program for use with a Hebrew
fonts - XHTerm = xterm + Hebrew support. The port for a sun machine was
made avalible by the help of Danny
<tt>danny@cs.huji.ac.il</tt>. Evgeny has some patch for use this port
under Linux. His version should come with a pre-compiled XHTerm for both
X11R5 and X11R6. You should use xhterm with the option -fn and a Hebrew
font
as described!
Danny's port (for SUN) can be obtained from:
ftp://ftp.huji.ac.il/pub/local/xhterm
and the patched version of Evgeny Stambulchik is on:
ftp://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/pub/software/linux
Get it from there and you'll get 5
fonts with it: [heb10x20.pcf, heb6x13.bdf, heb6x13.pcf, heb8x13.bdf, heb8x13.pcf]
The bigest problem with Tex with Hebrew is that the charecters should go
backwards relative to Visual look (i.e. pico inserts the charecters from
right to left), so the best thing is to get XHterm with a regular emacs and
write the Hebrew left to right, backwards as well.
The newer NTeX distribution on sunsite (v1.5) includes everything, including
TeX--XeT, precompiled for Linux. It can be obtained from
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu.gz/pub/Linux/apps/tex/ntex. An older version of
TeX--XeT can be obtained from
ftp://noa.huji.ac.il/tex. This
older version, however, has to be recompiled (not recommended).
These TeX distributions are fine if you use LaTeX2.09. If you want to use
LaTeX2e (the current de facto standard) you have a problem.
Alon Ziv
(alonz@csa.cs.technion.ac.il) is currently working in support for
LaTeX2e with Hebrew, using the Babel languages system. I don't know the
current status of his work -- ask him!
