Hi
I am trying to create an Hebrew text input box but without any success
I can only type in English in the text box
I suppose I need to use a little bit of python inline but need your help from where to start
thanks

Hi,

Is the font available to your operating system? Have you been able to type Hebrew in text boxes before?

Thanks!

I'll jump in the subject as Dror is basically trying to help me with this...
Yes, I have the fonts installed on the OS (ואני יכול לכתוב בעברית בתוכנות אחרות), and no, I've yet to find a way to type Hebrew in text boxes.

A small addition to the info dror provided:
When I try to switch the input language (alt-shift) Windows recognizes the change (evident in the language bar, when running the experiment in windowed mode), but Opensesame still shows English characters.

Thanks for the info! It seems like a Qt issue, but @sebastiaan is the expert on support for non-Western alphabets.

Any ideas, @sebastiaan?

Hi guys,

I'm not sure what's going on here, although I can reproduce it quite easily. It's not a font issue. Rather, it seems that the keyboard layout is not respected, and all input is treated as though typed on a US keyboard. I'll look into it, and have filed an issue.

Cheers,
Sebastiaan

A quick update: The issue should be resolved as of 2.9.0~pre28.
