I can switch to R-L typing in MS Word if I enable the Hebrew IME, but with Windows being what it is, that unleashes a whole new set of issues in other areas of my computer. I would love to be able to use LO for these documents if I can only figure out how.Īs for typing in Hebrew or Greek, in Apache Open Office or MS Office I just select the preferred font (Hebaicall or Graecall) at the necessary place in my document and use my standard keyboard a for aleph, b for beth, g for gimel, and so on and it types as Hebrew characters the same for Greek a for alpha, b for beta, g for gamma, and it types in Greek letters. I just can’t get them to work in Libre Office, even though the language settings appear to be set up identically. What really baffles me is these languages work just fine in Apache Open Office (as well as in MS Office) on these computers. Nor does it automatically switch to R-L for the Hebrew.

I have tried Tools>Options>Language Settings>Languages both with and without enabling the “Complex Text Layout.” Either way it will only type Roman letters, and does not recognize the Greek or Hebrew fonts. I have this same issue on all three computers which leads me to believe it’s something that I’m doing wrong and not an issue with the computer or program itself.

I now have Libre Office installed on three of my computers, two on Windows 10 platforms, one on Linux Manjaro. As far as being a “type 1” or some other, I would not know. These are from 1997, and were lifted from an old study suite CD and pasted into my Windows>Fonts folder. You may be right regarding the age of my preferred fonts.

By the way, how do you “type” Hebrew? Inserting one character at a time with Insert> Special Character, selecting your font? The point is to retype your Hebrew quotations with the correct encoding, instead of the biased hack for the font. I imagine standard Windows system fonts all offer the Hebrew block. IMHO, you should consider using a real Unicode font.

the sequences are not recognised as pertaining to RTL writing, thus your need to write backwards to get the correct visual appearance.

the characters cannot be entered from Unicode-compliant keyboards (key combinations are non standard).

They have been ported from the 256-character set (the “code page” era) to Unicode by simply offsetting the “foreign” alphabet into a Private Use Area of Unicode. Many old fonts for Windows are badly encoded. Thus writing direction is not an issue as it is automatically switched. Hebrew sequence is laid out RTL as expected (I guess the writing direction is inferred from the characters), though the status bar erroneously reports whatever language is considered default in the settings. I experimented (here LO 7.2.3.2 under Fedora Linux 35) without enabling “Complex Text Layout” in Tools> Options, Language Settings> Languages to try and mimic your routine. Regarding typing backwards, this is not a good idea. What may then happen is LO substitutes for a supported font which may not have the Hebrew block (but it should display the “missing glyph” instead). So, if your fonts are rather old, they may be “type 1” and won’t be handled. LibreOffice dropped support for “type 1” fonts several releases back.

It is not only a matter of TTF but also of format among the fonts. I really don’t know that much about settings. I suspect it’s an issue somewhere in the settings because 1) I also have Hebrew fonts that downloaded with LibreOffice, but will only type out in Roman letters 2) because the fonts work fine in OpenOffice 3) if I open one of these OpenOffice documents with LibreOffice all my Greek and Hebrew fonts show up as Roman letters. For simplicity’s sake, rather than changing the directional writing to R-L, I just spell the occaisional Hebrew words backwards. I work mainly in English and Japanese, frequently adding Greek and Hebrew words into my documents. I don’t really understand what “the localized settings” are.

The fonts are still in my PC and I’m still using them in MSWord, and on rare occaisions in OpenOffice. I’ve never uninstalled MSOffice or OpenOffice. I added these fonts to it when I bought it and have been using them ever since.
