Question

I’ve been using the Perl solution for Twitter via Terminal: IRSSI + TWIRSSI for the past couple of days. Amazing. The feeling so nostalgic yet so futuristic; beautiful. However, one problem still stands: Hebrew letters result as gibberish:

Any idea how or where to I can modify the script to work in a readable Hebrew?

Thanks, and G*d bless CLI.

Answer 1

Okay, this is a bit tricky.

The Easy Way

You could simply type in IRSSI:

/SET term_charset utf-8

The Hard Way

If things doesn’t go the easy way, take a look at this.

Install FriBiDi and HebXFonts.
Now, the next part is a kind of an academic guess: It might involve some path altering in the Makefile of HebXFonts.

As for me, I did all of the above until it just worked.

Good luck.
