Firstly, thanks for what seems to be an excellent program that I've only just discovered. If it's possible to track down and eliminate the bug I mention below, it will certainly become my doc viewer of choice.

Secondly, it also seems as though there's a bug in the display of right-to-left text. Any document that seems fine when displayed left-to-right, converts to gibberish "@]p;p" style characters when flipped right to left. This is true even for documents that are supposed to be displayed right to left -- such as Hebrew texts -- and choosing a different font has no effect.

Finding this on a new Palm Tx.

I suppose problem appears with Unicode documents. Try to set charset to UTF-8 or UTF-16. Or try to save document as ASCII text.

Thanks for the suggestions, however setting for either of those two doesn't solve the problem. They're both marked Unicode, ie "Unicode (UTF-8)" . Just to be sure, I tried with every other charset installed: auto, default, and the two Cyrillic ones. All produced the same output.

Not sure that's possible, given that a) it's Hebrew and b) I don't have the text source.

Am I unique with this problem? Does right-to-left work fine for everyone else?
