It seems I write too many emails before searching for the solution :) I found this test site: http://www.nirdagan.com/hebrew/characters/: | Test page encoded in ISO-8859-8-i. This is an identical encoding to | ISO-8859-8. It was introduced by RFC 1556 to distinguish between | logical and visual storing order. As far as HTML and XML are concerned | they are identical. In HTML all document are stored logically. | See overview of standards for details. The overview of standards page (http://www.nirdagan.com/hebrew/standards) points out, that using of iso-8859-8 is adviced for backward compatibility, and HTML even do not care about embedded directionality info in encodings, so from now on, we will use iso-8859-8 for Hebrew :)) This simplifies things a bit :)) Goba
