I haven't added anything to the site yet, but when I typed in a Hebrew word, it showed it backwards (left to right). I think this is an important thing for a multilingual site like this. :-)
Well, here's an example word in Hebrew: "מים" (water, pronounced like "mime"). If you paste that into the link search box, you'll see that in the HTML it shows up fine, but in the picture generated by the Javascript, it's reversed.
Is there any reason for the Javascript thing? Another problem it causes: If you resize the browser after the page is loaded, it doesn't resize to match.

I totally agree. I have no experience with right-to-left languages or what it involves to support them in HTML, but I will add that to my task list.

I've since removed the JavaScript/SVG code for drawing the links. That should get rid of the RTL problem.

Apparently this is a known problem with Firefox and SVG. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311545.
Until this is fixed, the solution seems to be to use Safari or Chrome.
