--- Comment #9 from Pavel pavel1r@gmail.com 2008-04-23 09:23:46 --- Tried version 0.9.60. As with 0.9.59, I can write English and Russian without any special settings, but not Hebrew (or Greek or Arabic). When I set LANG to el_GR.UTF-8, I can write in English, Russian and Greek. But same trick doesn't work with Hebrew and Arabic.
With Hebrew the behavior is really weird. When LANG set to he_IL.UTF-8, whenever I press a letter after an Enter, any other key generate the same letter, until next Enter. Then, I can write different letter on the new line, and any other key will also generate that letter and so on.
With Arabic, I had no success at all, but I probably lack some fonts. I guess, BIDI languages pose some additional difficulties.
