Right to Left languages and fonts

by Jimmie Houchin

Hello, I briefly tried to copy/paste, read from file, some Hebrew text. I simply get some strange characters. From a brief search of the archives. I did not find any means of doing a right to left language. I also am not sure how to use a Hebrew font. Font issues would also apply for when I want to use Greek. What would be needed to do right to left and use the right Hebrew font? I believe these issues would also apply to anyone wanting Arabic or any other such languages. The last message I can easily find is in August of 2014. Maybe Pharo isn't the right tool for this job at the moment. But I did want to explore the potential of it being so. Thanks for any help. Jimmie

Hi, I restored the pharo spur vm builds. Which means latest vm (from zeroconf of directly downloaded from files.pharo.org <http://files.pharo.org/>) is aligned with latest sources. I know there were a couple of bugs waiting to be testedâ¦ so please, go ahead! Esteban
