Hello,
I have a hebrew string that include numbers and other letters,
i need to revere only the hebrew fonts.
somebody told me using the bidi.

please help me.
 
Ben,

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want to parse text from one
language to another? I would look to Unicode and parsing the string
(possibly) and do a google search of "bidi" though I haven't used it
myself -- it may prove useful.
 
Assuming by "revere" you meant "reverse", what you need is the Uniscribe
API. You can pass a mixture of Hebrew and non-hebrew characters and get a
string returned which has the the correct formatting. Search MSDN for the
ScriptShape method.

This is a non-trivial task. Uniscribe is complex, poorly document, and there
does not seem to be a .NET wrapper.

Regards

John Farrow
