The letters are displayed in the right way. Only the strings are reversed.

Hm... I think, the best solution to fix thiis, is the easiest one. I think, that the original interpteter used it, too.
For showing the subtitles in the right order, you should just reverse the string, before drwaing it. (Of couse a check for the selected language is needed, because some other languages like arab are right-to-left)

After investigating the GAMEPC file i found that the ascii value of letters stored are 160 lower then normal hebrew ascii value. also i tries to reverse all the sentences but it only fixed a small portion of the text so i think the rest of the text is enrypted in the SIMON.GME File so we have 2 selutions 1. scummVM progremmers would add a speciel supprot for the hebrew version 2. someone would show me where can i fineda decopiler for the SIMON.GME file so i could revers all the text in there too

Support will be added eventually via language option, will just have to be patient for now. I have extracted the function from Hebrew version that needs to be altered but have not been able to make sense of it yet. It is at http://members.optusnet.com.au/wormmon/video_putchar.htm l for anyone interested.

Reversed subtitles work for item names and Simon's conversation responses in latest ScummVM cvs, although text spacing still isn't right. Reveresing the text spoken by Simon and other characters won't be as easy..

If anyone owns the Hebrew version of Simon the Sorcerer 2 could they please attach a copy of the main executable file (RSPTRFLT.EXE) only. We need it to extract the character spacing table for Hebrew fonts and it would be helpful with adding other Hebew specific code too. Unfortunately the main executable file of Hebew version of Simon the Sorcerer 1 is of no use.

Reversed subtitles for conversation response choices, item names and load/save dialog should be perfect now. We only have spoken text left to reverse now.
I also added code to allow combined speech and subtitles in the Hebrew version of Simon the Sorcerer 2. Did the speech and subtitles keep in sync in the original version ? and do they keep in sync in the introduction under ScummVM ? I could only try with English version, where the speech and subtitles would often go out of sync.

Hebrew support should be complete now, so closing bug.
I would still be interested in feedback about how combined speech and subtitles were handled in original Hebrew version of Simon the Sorcerer 2 though.

are the letters themself displayed in the right way, or are they flipped from left to right, too?
