1358.0. "LA100 settings for Hebrew Fonts." by KYOA::ELZAMS () Wed Aug 25 1993 23:47

    Dear fellow bagelers from TAV
    I need help in getting my LA100 to print Hebrew fonts.
    In using an old Document processor (LEX-11) on the Pro-350
    which was obtained some time back from Zvika Drori, I am successful in
    printing the English version, however, the Hebrew version prints in 
    English characters.  
        i-e   BET PRINTS AS a
              GIMEL PRINTS AS  b
              VAV PRINTS AS   e
    
    etc......
    
    Can someone let me know if I have to set my printer switches
    in a certain way? or guide me to what I am doing wrong?
    
    I realize this is a old piece of Software, however, perhaps someone in
    the TAV office still has some recollection on how to solve this problem
    .

1358.1A few questionsEVMS::FENSTERYaacov Fenster, Alpha Verification @ISO 882-3153Thu Aug 26 1993 19:346
    A few questions:
    a) Are you printing 8 or 7 bit hebrew ?
    b) Are you sure that the printer has hebrew (a special rom ?)
    Try printing using the test and see if any hebrew characters come out.

1358.2LA100 HEBREW REPLYKYOA::ELZAMSThu Aug 26 1993 20:159
    Thank you for your prompt reply.
    Answers to your questions:
    1. I am printing 8 bit hebrew. (the printer is set at 8 bit)
    2. I am not sure the printer has hebrew, However when garbage
      prints out , some Hebrew characters appear such as the "shin"
    and the "Kof".
    You mentioned to use the Test. What Test?
    
    Thank you.
