Hebrew Locale

The Solaris 7 operating environment includes the Hebrew Language Environment. This section describes the main features of the Hebrew Language Environment.

Typing Hebrew Text

You may need to intersperse Hebrew and English text in the same file. To toggle between Hebrew and English input modes, use Ctrl+t. The message at the base of each tool displays the current input language.

Editing Hebrew Text

This section describes how to work with Hebrew text, specifically, how to manipulate the cursor within the logical edit mode.


Note - You may find a residual cursor image at the beginning of a line of text, after text has been entered. Functionality is not affected by this residual image. Continue entering data.


Character Insertion

There is ambiguity when the text insertion point is in the boundary between Hebrew and English text. To solve this ambiguity, a split cursor has been implemented to reflect the two positions. The display will be ab|DC| where "|" represents each cursor.


Note - The split cursor may not display properly when pressing the Home or End keys.


Printing Hebrew Text

Hebrew printing is implemented by using a set of filters. The Hebrew locale package SUNWheu should be installed on both the server machine to which the printer is attached and the client machine.

Installed Hebrew Filters

The following list of filters are included in the Hebrew locale package.

heb2ps

This heb2ps filter converts any text to postscript and sends the Hebrew font together with font to printer.

  • Input types: heb2ps

  • Output types: postscript

  • Printer types: any

  • Printers: any

  • Filter type: slow

  • Command: /usr/openwin/bin/mp

  • Options: INPUT * = -A4

    Options: INPUT * = -L he

hebl2r

When printing with the hebl2r filter, no reordering is done on input text. Text is formatted to fit an 80 column paper size. This would be useful for printing an English document with a few Hebrew words.

  • Input types: hebl2r

  • Output types: heb2ps

  • Printer types: any

  • Printers: any

  • Filter type: slow

  • Command: /usr/lib/lp/postscript/convert_text

  • Options: INPUT * = -linewidth 80

hebr21

When printing with the hebr21 filter, all text is indiscriminately reversed and the resulting printer output is aligned to the right.

  • Input types: hebr21

  • Output types: heb2ps

  • Printer types: any

  • Printers: any

  • Filter type: slow

  • Command: /usr/lib/lp/postscript/convert_text

  • Options:
    INPUT * = -linewidth 80 
    -inputLayoutDirection right_down  -outputLayoutDirection left_down
