The approach in v1.0.3 of bidi for equation number is that in RTL it
actually reverses parantheses so the final output look ok and so there is no
issue. The issue is I said before is about the fonts, you are using.
However, the approach in the experimental one is that whenever, there is an
equation number, in RTL mode the equation will be typeset from right to
left.
Adobe Hebrew font is freely avaliable from Adobe. You can download it from
here <http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/acrrasianfontpack.html> but
first you have got to convert them to tff and then use them. I use fontforge
for converting them to ttf. This is the script, I use
Print("Opening "+$1);
Open($1);
Print("Saving "+$1:r+".ttf");
Generate($1:r+".ttf");
Quit(0);
In unix, I call it for example otf2ttf.sh and for converting a single font,
I use
fontforge -script otf2ttf.sh FONTNAME.otf
and for converting several fonts, I use
for i in *.otf; do fontforge -script otf2ttf.sh $i; done
