(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Thanks L18L. Don't know how serious the support in that is, or weather it has Hebrew; but will I be able to install one of those files; and which extension to download?

I have found (in precise5.7.1) there is a pet version 0,5,9-1 for katoob in Puppy Package Manager.
install libgtkmm-2.4 and its dependencies and then install katoob.

Hope it works also in slacko

EDIT
No it is not in slacko's repo

downloaded source

http://sourceforge.net/projects/arabeye ... z/download

and compiled in slacko5.7 (you need devx_slacko_5.7.0.sfs loaded)

./configure
make
make install

executable is in /usr/local/bin/ and seems to work

Hope to see a langpack_he sooner or later
Don't forget to make kaboot your defaulttexteditor if you will be using MoManager.

Hi L18L; I don't know how to install it. I looked on the web about this; but found only a way to install with PupGet; I don't see that I have this.

How do you use Fribidi? Why, with Abiword. I'm sure that's why it was included.

Oh OK; but AbiWord has many problems.

Before you install it you should compile it

You need devx

Then download the source

then compile source
cd to downloaded source

./configure
make
make install

then it will be installed in /usr/local/bin
A click on katoob in /usr/local/bin will launch katoob

Hope this helps

Thanks L18L.
I was looking for other text editors, and downloaded "Beaver", which works; and apparently LeafPad also has almost the same capabilities; though I think I prefer Beaver.
The reasons I thought they don't work were that no program yet was able to open and display Hebrew in my old files: RTF and Doc; and it just automatically starts a new line from the right - if I start typing in Hebrew, and from the left - if I start to type in English.
It's also possible to add a right to left invisible symbol and to start from English from the right, for instance.

So if you'll encounter someone who has problems with this matter - you can tell them that LeafPad or Beaver work.


A few questions I need to find out:
Is there a keyboard shortcut to start from one of the sides; like in Windows - the left Ctrl+Shift starts from left, and the right Ctrl+Shift starts from from the right?
And how to open the RTF and Doc files and see the Hebrew?

So if someone happen to know - please tell me.

People are really helpful on this forum; my hat's off to you.
