Hebrew Language displayed from Left to Right

Hi everyone.
Has anybody come along a problem with the Hebrew language in windows xp
embedded so far?
We have an application where the user is able to switch between up to four
languages during the runtime and one of this languages is Hebrew. The
application was running on Windows NT before and everything was fine, but
when using XP embedded as operation system, the Hebrew language is now
displayed from left to right (instead of right to left how the original
reading is). We're using the same settings and fonts as on the old NT system
and I already tried a lot of different other settings, but without success.
I hope that anybody in here might have an idea about that.

Regards,

Thomas
 
There are definitely some system related settings for left-to-right and right-to-left options.
However, first thing to ask is how the same app works on XP Pro with the right language support added?
 
Hi KM,

Have you got any link or hint for me where to find these settings?

On XP Pro everything is working as expected. Using the same settings on XP
embedded, all hebrew texts are left to right. Maybe there is an option hidden
in one of the numerous option windows I've forgotten to set.

Regards,
Thomas
 
Thomas,

I can't remember where the RTL settings sit in registry off the top of my head. Perhaps Google would give you more info on the
subject.

Just in case, check if your image configuration got "Microsoft Agent 2.0 Core Components" component.
How do other bidi apps work on your image? Is the issue only exposed in your app?

Also, it is always a good option to launch your app through DependencyWalker tool (Profile) to see if any dll is missing on the
image.
Another option is to see and resolve all the failures if you monitor your app launch with a tools like Regmon (sysinternals.com).
You can always compare the logs you get from the tools with the same logs retrieved on XP Pro machine.
