Specific features for right-to-left scripts
If your system has a right-to-left script such as Hebrew installed,
your Text control panel has some additional features (as shown
below). The Text control panel determines the direction (left to
right or right to left) in which the system presents text and other
on-screen elements such as buttons and menus.
The Text control panel also allows you to choose “split caret”
insertion, so you can see insertion points at each of two possible
locations when you are typing at a boundary between left-to-right
and right-to-left text.
The Hebrew Setting control panel
This control panel lets you select a Roman font to be associated
with Hebrew fonts. It will be used by the system when you work
in applications that allow only one text font per section.
To adjust your Hebrew Setting control panel, follow these steps:
1. Choose Control Panels in the Apple (K) menu.
2. Open the Hebrew Setting control panel.
3. Select a new default font.
4. Close the Hebrew Setting control panel.
