I installed Hebrew fonts in Photoshop but how do I get the numbers I am using to appear as Hebrew font?

They still appear in the English number system.

You need to be using the middle eastern version of Photoshop for Hebrew fonts to work properly.

guess that leaves me out.

But when I convert from English numbers to Chinese numbers online and paste it into Photoshop those do work ok.

Problem is, I need chinese, greek, hebrew, amharic, arabic and thai

Thanks

I’ve never used Hebrew fonts so I don’t know if there’s something special about Hebrew fonts but you can use Chinese fonts, for example, in an English version of Photoshop, as long as you have the fonts installed on your system of course.

When you say you want the numbers to appear in a different language form then if you creat them in an ‘English’ font and then change to a different language font then it may not change them automatically, it depends how the font is organised and how the text was input. For example, most Chinese fonts will have characters for ‘English’ style numbers, Roman numerals and the various ways of writing the numbers using Chinese characters. You may need to choose the particular glyphs manually if they weren’t originally assigned to the correct character when the text was created. This is easier to do in Illustrator or InDesign if you have the Creative Suite as they have proper Glyph palettes.

I don’t know if this helps at all with Hebrew fonts.

For any language that writes right-to-left you will need the Middle Eastern version, or a mirror-font for the language in question.

Search for what?

If I do a search for mirror font all I get are mirror fonts.

If I do a search for greek mirror font there are no relevant results.

I would appreciate more details

Hardly surprising, Greek is not a right-to-left language…

I would appreciate more details<<

and if I could give you any I would.
