A nikud adding program

Dov Grobgeld — 2007-10-24T11:46:43

Shalom everyone, I have recently written a small gtk-perl program that allows adding nikud to Hebrew text as follows: 0. A script is run that prepares a hebrew haser to nikud db by parsing all text with nikud from the machon-mamre web site. This step creates a text file containing the hebrew haser word as a key and a list of all nikud combinations as a value. (A piece of trivia is that the word in the Tenach with the most different ways of nikud is Dalet, Bet, Reish that has 22 different spellings). 1. The text is typed or copied into the program without nikud. 2. The nikud tool is activated this selects the first word of the text. 3. A set of buttons are created with all the different spellings of the word. Pressing the button chooses that spelling and replaces the original word. That's it. My question is if there already exists a similar free program, or if there is any interest should clean it up and release it? I realize that there are additional improvements that may be made that will use grammatical rules to split prefixes from the indexed word, or e.g. use of hspell. It would also be possible to create a freedb like internet site where all users of the program can upload their indices... Regards, Dov

free fonts with palestinian/babylonian accents?

Petr Tomasek — 2007-08-10T17:07:13

שלום! רצוני לשאול האם קיימים פונטים "חופשיים" עבריים עם סימני ניקוד בבליים וארצישראליים למיניהם. ואם לא, איפה להתחיל אם רוצים ליצור פונטים כאלו (לשכלל פונטים קיימים)? (הבעיה היא שאפילו ב-unicode עדיין לא נתקבלו סימנים אלה ואין להם עדין קודים משלהם :-( ) תודה Petr Tomášek

Uninteresting patches for hspell-1.0

Bernard Leak — 2007-04-02T13:18:56

Dear List, as a long-term hater of building in source directories, I've patched the hspell Makefile.in (and a few other bits and pieces) to allow building in a separate directory, in the Autotools way. If there's a source repository against which I could check for recent changes, I've missed it. I'm therefore patching against the 1.0 release. I introduce two new dependencies: (a) I use VPATH. Really, separate building is ugly as sin without it. Merely defining it is harmless enough, of course, the point is that the 'make' utility must respond to it - that, or just build in the source directory (ugh) as before. (b) A redundant small change, but I prefer it: I use 'install' to put everything where I want it. This allows me to collapse the cp / chmod sequences into single safe calls. If you prefer to avoid this extra dependency, go back to cp and chmod, but don't get rid of the extra $(SRCDIR)/ mini-paths I've added! A separate patch cleans up a handful of miscellaneous warnings. Tcl_DeleteHashTable() was recklessly called without a prototype, and in fact was being mis-called, with an unused extra argument. The patches are bzipped to avoid damage in transit. The patches themselves use UN*X-style LF line-breaks. Extra copies of the bzipped patches should be available for the foreseeable future in http://www.brenda-arkle.demon.co.uk/patches/hspell/ Happy patching... Bernard Leak. ---- Ivrix-discuss list.

[Groff] A pretty usable right-to-left support for -mm macros

Bereshit — 2007-01-03T09:59:09

Maybe you will be interested by the quick set of macros I wrote for typesetting right-to-left with Groff and the -mm macros: http://baruchel.free.fr/~thomas/code/rtlgroff.pdf The greatest things: right-to-left running over page breaks without disturbing the header, and even... running over page breaks in two column mode! Not all -mm features work, but for typesetting text in two languages (left-to-right and right-to-left) you can really do whatever you want. Regards.

Hebrew in tetex pdflatex

Eran Tromer — 2006-12-22T15:53:02

Hi, I hope you don't mind the following newbie question. The wealth of options and documentation for Hebrew-in-LaTeX, much of which seems outdated, got me rather confused; so I'd appreciate advice on the current best practice. I have a long LaTeX document which compiles nicely via pdflatex (Fedora Core 6 tetex-3.0-32.fc6 package), using \documentclass{book} \usepackage[english]{babel} . I want to add a few pages in Hebrew. What's the simplest way to do so, with minimal disruption of the document's existing content, build process and output quality? Most of this Hebrew text is in plain modern Hebrew. There's one short biblical quote with fancy diacritics, but I don't mind include that part as an external figure if this makes things simpler. Thanks, Eran ---- Ivrix-discuss list.

Automatic Nikud insertion

Hats on YUD, VAV, and NUN sufit in DejaVU

Dov Grobgeld — 2006-09-25T10:20:02

Hello all, This is probably not the right forum, but I thought that I would raise it here anyhow in lack of a better place. As you might have seen DejaVu Sans now includes Hebrew glyphs. These look great in my system (especially since I was never able to configure fontconfig for Hebrew to my liking), but there are a couple of problem/questions: The main problem, imo, is that the YUD does not have a roof in the font, but the VAV and the NUN-SUFIT do. In my opinion this is inconsistent, and I filed a bug report to that extent: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8145 I got no response to that bug report and I am considering getting cvs access and just do the change myself. But I would like to hear some others opinions on the matter before I do. There are some other problems with nikud that are too close to the base characters, but these can wait. Looking forward to hearing some more opinions on the matter, Dov ---- Ivrix-discuss list. See http://ivrix.org.il.

A (too huge) Arabic word-list (with prefixes) for spell-checkers

Dan Kenigsberg — 2006-05-16T08:28:18

Hello, I have converted Tim Buckwalter's database of Arabic - including all suffixes and prefixes - to the Aspell format. This makes it possible to spell-check Arabic in Aspell, Mozilla Thunderbird, and OpenOffice - if you can spare some 200Mb of RAM. It is freely available under the GPL, on http://ivrix.org.il/projects/arabic . You can read more about this project in http://ivrix.org.il/projects/arabic/README-ar.txt . Since I don't know Arabic myself, I cannot judge whether this list is good enough. In case it is, I'll be happy to push it into various spellers (including Google's Gmail), as we already did for Hebrew. Salam 2aleikom wa-2aleina,
