Nisus, Ibook G3 and Hebrew Fonts
Posted: 2004-08-05 01:32:19
We have an Ibook G3 / 600 recently upgraded to OS X which is being used to produce a publication which is written primarily in English with a combination of biblical Hebrew and Greek text as well, and written in Appleworks 6. We are printing using an Epson Stylus 64.
Since upgrarding to OSX we find the fonts previously used are not supported and we can't print the document text properly. If Appleworks is opened in Classic, then our original text and fonts are fine and we print OK. We have been told that Appleworks 6 does not support Unicode and it is this which is needed to enable Hebrew text (althought I don't understand why we could use Hebrew fonts previously).
If we switch to Nisus as the word processing program my questions are:
1) will it facilitate writing documents which incororate standard english, hebrew and greek text,
2) if so, what font would be needed to enable the pointing required for Hebrew text and also Greek text with full keyboard functionality
3) will we be able to print to the Epson without difficulty
Thanks for your thoughts.
