Hi all- I am very happy to say that I have successfully installed wine and winetools. The only problem is, that when I try to type in hebrew in IE, all the characters come out as a kuf- that is the letter that shares a key with 'E' on the keyboard. English typing works fine. Has anyone seen something like this before? According to google, no. Does anyone know what causes this? Thanks all. Dotan Cohen http://English-Lyrics.com/ http://Song-Lyriks.com/

Though i don't know how wine fix a keyboard (only that it is a file in the wine source and you need to hack it). I have seen a patch for another keyboard and the problem was the array of letter was wrong. Maybe you could fix it this way too (fixing the key map). Cheers Alban

Try to figure this out on a Windows box and copy the identified font to c:\windows\fonts. If it's a downloadable font, then send me the URL for integration into WineTools.

Are there developers > there that you know are from Israel?It was /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 , that was quite uncommon for a user to not know about this file. This means the installer have greatly improved since i last tried :) Raising the issue on wine-devel may be enough . I was just asking for a little more information before suggesting you to ask them. The first thing i thouhg was to check if your Xfree keyboard map was one of the already defined in the file i told you about (IL , IL_phonetic, IL_sharon). To track if the problem is a missing keymap definition, a broken one or maybe that wine does have a bug. About Debian Developpers , yes there are a few from Israel : https://db.debian.org/ But debian-devel (http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe) have more developpers than DD per se ... You may ask if they could help you out getting more data to help wine developer fix the issue. They may be interested by a working wine, who knows ... Regards Alban
