| For VT220 and up, you can run the program in order to download [soft]
Hebrew lower-case charcater set, with the standard 8-bit Hebrew code
used here in Israel, so you may then read Hebrew text written here.
Try the following:
[1] Extract this reply (e.g., Notes> ext tmp.tmp)
[2] Exit from "Notes"
[3] $ run download ! use .0
[4] $ type tmp.tmp

Happy Pesach to you and all the readers of this file --

| Soft fonts look different on Digital's wide range of compatible
terminals. If Nitsan made this font for a VT220 then don't
expect it to look the same on a VT240, VT320...

| 446.4 | | LABC::FRIEDMAN | | Mon Apr 11 1988 14:13 | 13 |
| The real way is as follows:
$ r download
$ set terminal/pasthru
^N
$ set terminal/nopasthru

$ set terminal/pasthru
^O

| Following are some partial answers to [many] questions I've been asked:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
o The font I put in the note is NOT the font we use here in Israel.
Here we use "UPPERCASE" ("Dfus") Hebrew, and it is not downloaded
into the terminal but resides there permanently in hardware.
o The "8-bit Hebrew" standard here uses ASCII codes "E0" to "FA" (hex)
for the Hebrew characters (22 regulars + 5 finals = total of 27 letters,
a "final" letter precedes the same regular letter for SORTING purposes).
o The keyboards we use here are "converted" to generate the appropriate
8-bit codes by some set-up configuration. In order to generate the same
codes using a standard multinational terminal, you should generate the
codes for "E0" ("�") to "FA" ("�") using "compose" or whatever.
o The keyboard mapping we use is the standard Hebrew keyboard, made
available by the above hardware conversion. It also changes the location
of some other (non-letter) characters.
o The SAME (with certain variations) standard is used in all our peripherals,
including printers, lazer printers, etc.
o Yes, we do have many SOFTWARES using Hebrew. To use them conveniently I
guess you have to have a "converted" terminal. I presume you can use them
(with different input method) also in "non-converted" terminal, with
"download", provided the application does not RESET your terminal and thus
"erases" the downloaded font.
o Note that the above note contains TWO files: The PROGRAM to be compiled,
linked & run, and the DATA to be read by the program (using a logical
name, for example).
o The same download "trick" may be used for any font for any language. I
just used a feature described in the manual...
Enjoy - please don't bomb me with questions,
/Nitsan

| I will do my best to answer any Hebrew-product related
questions. My group is chartered to provide Hebrew language
support in corporate products.
A slight nit for Nitsan....the keyboard is not really modified,
there are just additional legends (the Hebrew letters) on the
keycaps. The codes which are generated are determined by the
modified terminal firmware or terminal emulator. On a
VAXstation you can install the Hebrew option under VWS. It is
totally soft and involves no hardware modifications.

| What about for people who don't have workstations?
Is there a Hebrew font available for TEX/LATEX, for instance?
How about something that I could edit on my Rainbow and print
to my LA50 (a graphics-mode font)?
(I do have a ReGIS font that I can use with a GIGI or VT240, but
only by doing a screen dump to the printer port.)

| >> What about for people who don't have workstations?
All other options require one or more specialized EPROM's be
installed.
>> Is there a Hebrew font available for TEX/LATEX, for instance?
There are some floating around but I don't happen to have
any. We do have soft fonts for LN03 printers, both fixed
space and proportional.
>> How about something that I could edit on my Rainbow and print
>> to my LA50 (a graphics-mode font)?
As above, I'm afraid that these require special EPROM's. (If
you are adventurous and a techie I could send you a set.)

The latest DECUS TeX distribution tape contains the REDIS family of
Hebrew fonts, written by Prof. Jacques Goldberg of Technion Physics
Dept. See note 931.* in CLOSET::TEX for information on how to get
the kit. Once you've installed it, you can use the following DCL
procedure will compile the font definitions using the MetaFont compiler.
-- Bill B.
!+
! COMPILE_FONTS.COM
!
! Compile all eleven Ivrit fonts in the REDIS font family.
! Five magnifications are provided for each font.
!
! This procedure assumes that the following DCL commands are
! defined:
! $ MF -- invoke the MetaFont compiler
! $ GFTOPK -- compress the compiled fonts into "pk"
! (packed) format
