Hi,
Is it possible to make far show hebrew filenames ?
How ?
Thanks.

Well it was pretty easy under windows 9x but since WinXP (or maybe earlier) MS have officialy removed support for RTL languages from the console. You can still make Far to show hebrew and the development unicode version of Far also shows RTL languages but many unwanted artifacts occur which we have no control over. To see hebrew in Far 1.7x you need to set hebrew as the default language for non unicode programs and set a TrueType font for the console window. By default you can only select LucidaConsole which doesn't have hebrew characters (also they are some times shown anyway in some mestirious way). The best font I have seen for hebrew in the console window is Curier New, but it is quite problematic to make this font selectable for a console window.
