SYMPTOMS

When you are using Hebrew Publisher 2002 with the user interface in Hebrew, and you try to apply a font scheme to either Hebrew letters or Latin letters, nothing happens. When you switch the user interface to English, you can apply a font scheme, but only to text written in Latin letters.

CAUSE

Cause 1

By design, the font schemes in Publisher 2002 use fonts that do not contain complex scripts characters, such as Hebrew letters. As a result, you cannot apply a font scheme to Hebrew letters.

Cause 2

Because of a known issue with the Fontschm.ini file that is included with the Hebrew user interface in Microsoft Office XP, the existing font schemes for Latin text are not applicable for Latin text when the user interface is in Hebrew.

WORKAROUND

Cause 2: Create a Copy of an Existing Scheme

To make a font scheme available for text that is written with Latin letters, such as English text, switch the user interface to English, and then create a copy of the existing font scheme. To do this, follow these steps:

In the task pane, click Quick Publication Options.
Click Font Schemes.
Right-click a font scheme, and then click Duplicate Scheme on the shortcut menu.
Type a new name for the scheme. Verify that this name is written only with Latin letters, not Hebrew letters, and then click OK.

You can apply this font scheme to text that is written with Latin letters, even when you switch the user interface language back to Hebrew.
