The fact that the tsadi appears would suggest to me that the package was probably installed. Wouldn't it be very strange to have only SOME of the Hebrew letters installed? In any case, like I said, Firefox renders the chupchik correctly, so it's probably a KHTML/Konqueror bug. But let's say, for

Sweet. Since I'm the beggar and not the one actually doing the spec, I humbly make some suggestions. One is a stop-gap measure to deal with config files as they currently are. What you need for a merge are three files: (1) the old config file, unmodified, (2) the old config file, modified, and
