<div dir="ltr">Hi Dov,<br><br>You were right, it was the encoding. I have manually made the glyph's unicode position to be correct, but still something is wrong (in OpenOffice):<br>When I choose font ("Rashi") and start typing, the font is reset back to the default font. I need to type something using regular hebrew font, then select the text and choose the Rashi font for the letters. After that I can type freely.<br>
Can someone suggect why is that happening?<br><br>BTW, when I saved the ttf font from fontforge, it warned me about wrong direction for the font. I checked around and have not found how to set up font direction.<br><br><a href="http://t11.mine.nu/rashi_unicode.ttf">http://t11.mine.nu/rashi_unicode.ttf</a><br>

<div dir="ltr">Probably the encoding. Open up the font in FontForge and you can both see how the font is encoded and change its encoding to "unicode" (actually 10646). The way fontconfig works under Linux is like linking of an executable through ld. The first font that provides the requested range gets to provide the glyph, otherwise it falls back to the next font, and so on. So in your case I guess that the Rashi font did not provide the code points for the Hebrew glyphs in the right positions, so it fell through to the next font that fontconfig is configured to use.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br>Someone asked me whether it is possible to use rashi font on OpenOffice. I downloaded a ttf font from<br><br><a href="http://www.fonts.ro/font/rashi_hebrew" target="_blank">http://www.fonts.ro/font/rashi_hebrew</a><br>
<br>copied it to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice (ubuntu 9.10), the font appeared in the font selection dropbox, but the resulting text is show using regular hebrew font and not rashi's font...<br><br>What is the problem?<br>

Does anybody know of a similar font, yet that doesn't cost $237.00 USD?<br>
