Hebrew on Maemo (Nokia 770 and N800) again

[Dov Grobgeld]

B'sha'a tova. I also have a N900 and I have no problem seeing Hebrew in SMS
and other applications (except for some initial problems with email in
windows-1255 encoding).

Note that according to http://wiki.maemo.org/Hebrew_N900 the modifier for
switching keyboards is FN + vol+/vol- key and not Ctrl-space.

Regards,
Dov
