Is this the same as ISO 8859-8 visual encoding?
Codepoint for codepoint, yes, but IIRC the "Web Hebrew" fonts only
worked on sites that were declared (or assumed by default) to be in
ISO-8859-1 encoding.
But presumably if the same sites were declared as ISO-8859-8 visual they
would be readable with standard Unicode Hebrew fonts, in browsers which
perform the correct mappings? Well, now if I find an unreadable page
which is supposed to be Hebrew, I know which encoding to select manually.
