- Questions about mixed script systems are appearing more and more.
- The idea is to mix two or more scripts in one system, like Roman
- (left to right) and Hebrew or Arabic (right to left). Here is a
- summary of my experiments on this topic.
-
- I started with System 7.0.1 (international version) and added the
- following:
- Arabic extension (Extension with a crescent icon)
- Arabic script (Document with a world icon)
- Arabic keyboard (Document with a keyboard icon)
- Font Al Qahirah (FOND id 17920, same as the ones above)
- All of these can be dragged into the System folder, the first will
- go into the extensions folder, the rest into the System suitcase.
- Make sure that you do this after shift-restart and no applications
- open.
-
- (Caution: make sure that all the additions described above are
- taken from a recent system. System 6 components will NOT work.)
-
- It works. My keyboard menu (between the help and application menus
- on the top right corner) shows US, Turkish, and Arabic in two script
- groups. Some applications are script-savvy, in that they change the
- script depending on the document.
