writingdirection of hebr. letters/ Hebr-module with Strongs?

Post by Stephan »

Hi Costas,

the direction of the original hebrew letters goes from left to right in in "Strongs", "Brown-Driver-Briggs", "Aleppo Codex", "Westminster Leningrad Codex" and "Biblia Hebraica"

Normaly it is the opposite: from RIGHT TO LEFT. :roll:


:?: Why the direction is changed in the dictionaries?
:?: Is there any possibility to change it into the original writing direction?

...hm, maybe they change it, becuase it´s better to read. I just was irritaded a little bit because in my dictionary (book) it is written from right to left. But now i think the publisher of my book should change it because it´s really better to read from left to right... 8)


other question:
:?: Do you have any of these modules "Aleppo Codex", "Westminster Leningrad Codex" and "Biblia Hebraica" with Strongs?

Hello Forumiker,
it shouldn't be like that. TW renders it properly. Have you checked that: http://forum.theword.gr/viewtopic.php?t=22 ?

In Win9x version this is not possible though,
