Troubleshooting
This section contains information about some common problems
you may encounter while working on a computer that supports
Hebrew.
I see odd characters that I can’t read in some of my file
and folder names.
The font your system is using for file and folder names may not
contain any Hebrew characters. Hebrew names can’t be properly
displayed unless your system uses a font that contains Hebrew
characters. Choose Hermon in your Views control panel (see the
section “Displaying Hebrew Filenames Correctly” in Chapter 2).
The Hermon font contains Hebrew characters as well as the most
commonly used Roman characters. You can view almost all
Hebrew and Roman file and folder names correctly by setting the
Font for views to Hermon.
If you still see odd characters on your screen, read on.
Chapter 5
I changed my Views control panel to the Hermon font, but
I still see odd characters in my Hebrew application
program.
Your system may not recognize your Hebrew program as Hebrew.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 3 of this manual to register
your program as Hebrew.
I changed my Views control panel to the Hermon font,
and now I can’t read some of my non-Hebrew file and
folder names.
If you have file or folder names that contain non-English Roman
characters, such as accents or umlauts, they will not be correctly
displayed after you change the Views control panel to the
Hermon font. A few other characters, such as typographic
quotation marks and ellipses, will also not be correctly displayed.
This is because the Hermon font does not have a complete set of
Roman characters, only the most commonly used ones.
In the Views control panel, choose a font that will correctly
display your non-Hebrew file and folder names. Then use non-
Hebrew names for all your files and folders, even those that
contain Hebrew.
