Description Sebastian J. Bronner 2006-11-13 05:38:24 UTC

Studying theology and using Linux is proving to be a road filled with
challenges.  I have created a (complete) variant for the il-layout which
includes all characters needed to type Old-Testament Hebrew.  The
variant was designed by Tiro (the same people who designed the SBL
Hebrew font) and I took that specification and entered it into a symbols
file.

Attached are the modified symbols-file (symbols/il) along with the modified
symbols.lst,  rules/base.lst, rules/base.xml in the tarball.  Also a .diff is
attached which contains the patch of the four files as needed on the X.org X
Window System Version 6.9.0.

My wish is that this layout will become integrated into the main tree of the
X-Server.  The primary differences to the standard hebrew layout (basic or
si1452) are documented briefly in the symbols file (symbols/il).
