So. Is there a way to get hebrew font in OS X 10.1?

Oo, and got OS X 10.2, on Apple's website it says that Jag has support for Hebrew... does one have to install a special package or something? Or is it installed by default?

seems to work for me, and I didn't select 'customize' during installation, and thus it seems to have installed all languages. I'm really glad Hebrew is back!

I don't know about 10.1 (because it doesn't support right to left text) but browsing a website written in Hebrew (http://www.microsoft.com/israel/) works just fine in OS X 10.2 with no additional installation work required. The only catch is that it doesn't work in IE which, unfortunately, has no support for right to left languages like Hebrew and Arabic. I can view and use websites written in Arabic as well but again this only works in OmniWeb or Chimera.

In 10.2 there is an amazing new charater palette built into the keyboward menu and this allows you to access font glyphs from the *complete* extended and supplementary Latin script system as well as dozens of other srcipt systems including Korean, Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Cyrillic, Thai etc.

I don't see any option for Hebrew in my International prefs. How did you get that?

Look in the Character Palette. (open the font panel in text edit and select character palette from the extras� pop-up menu)

Hey look at this site: It's got a very strange URL for what it actually is http://www.yeda.co.il/

Wow these different scripts look great in Omniweb

10.2 supports hebrew and other right to left text systems so if an application developer includes localisations in hebrew (or arabic, korean etc.) then you'll be able to use them for the interface.

To enable new languages all you have to do is edit the list in the International pane of the System Prefs by clicking on the "Edit" button. Select the new languages you'd like to use from the sheet that appears and save the changes. Back in the main pane, drag languages in the list into your order of preference and save. If you have applications that are localised in the language you've chosen to be at the top of the list then that app will display in that language, if not the app will use the next available language for which it's localised in your list in the order of preference you've specified.

Cool! Thanks.

you don't need the character palette, useful as it is.

If you did a full install of Jag, click the International pane of System Prefs. Now click the Input Menu tab and check-mark the languages you want.

This gives you the standard keyboard for those countries. Open Key Caps (in the Apps>Utils folder) and select your language (from the flags now in the menu bar). this program will display the character mappings for your selected language. If you don't know they keyboard layouts, this is a good guide.

note: I've noticed that if you type in chimera in Hebrew, the characters don't input correctly--letters are where they're supposed to be. I had to type in Key Caps, then cut-paste over to chimera to get the proper display.

Chimera and Omniweb are perfect! Thanks guys!

And I got the Hebrew working in those, and in the system... this is good.

Now, why the heck isn't microsoft using OS X's language system... err... You'd think they would... but meh.
