How to install hemacs (Hebrew Emacs) on X windows? -------------------------------------------------- 1. If you have a sparc workstation, you can use the exe file hemacs. It is contained here; huji users can also copy it from sunrise:/usr/huji. Otherwise we have to recompile. See the available 3 versions yossi/ alex/ hoffman/ . 2. Install the hebrew support: Copy the heb*.snf files to /X11/lib/fonts/misc Note that font files having the suffix .pcf are suitable for version 5 of Xwindows. Then perform (I guess you will have to be a super user) mkfontdir a new fonts.dir file will be created, containing lines starting with heb..... Copy the new lines to fonts.alias while omitting suffix .snf from the font's name. and then do xset fp rehash (or,alternatively, xset +fp /X11/lib/fonts/misc) 3. hemacs has to load the hebrew library. Copy the library hebrew.el to /usr/local/emacs/hlisp Apart from that, copy the file isearch.el to /usr/local/emacs/hlisp 4. Copy the file .emacs to your home directory. It contains the definition of ESC M for hebrew-english toggle. 5. Enter hemacs by typing hemacs -fn heb10x20 Inside hemacs, load the hebrew library by typing esc-x load-l and as an answer to the question: Load Library: enter hebrew In hemacs, do esc x hebrew-mode and then esc m for change of direction. ---------------- Outside emacs, you do xterm with -fn heb10x20 to get a window which displays Hebrew. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rama -- rama@cc.huji.ac.il May 26, 1992.
