I find IE 5.5 displays it well. I use Netscape 4.7 which has trouble with Hebrew among other things. If you use another browser, I would be interested in reports on which ones work well. (Don't bother to tell me which ones don't work.) Indeed, this looks pretty cool. IE 6.0 also displays

The font Arial Unicode MS is not free for download. You must be a licensed user of an Office Family product from the 2000 or XP generation. If you have Office2000 or OfficeXp, Arial Unicode MS comes on the CD of the product. If you have Publisher2000, you can go to

Mike, Long after upgrading to Win2K, setting up all my fonts, and testing everything, I've come to a conclusion: there are darn few Unicode text messages on the Unicode mail list (i.e. characters are referred to by codepoint, but the character itself is never included). While I

I see that the list software now appends [unicode] to all subject lines. This is very annoying, and not very useful, since those who wish to filter their mail and put posts from this list in a folder of its own etc. etc. can now do so by using other headers, such as "X-list: unicode" .

that it might lead to wrong strings because formerly inner letters can become final letters which can be of totally different form as we know. Additionally, where are the usual three points to be drawn for right-to-left strings, on the left of the string or still on the right? Ciao, Mike Dipl. Ing. Mike
