If you have looked at those pages, you have seen that they were coded as a cypher of Latin, but with no implied association with these letters. It just allows using the existing font technology in a way that is not Unicode compliant as it shows unrelated glyphs for standard Latin letters. Directionality issue would be a problem, but the texts presented are simply right-ligned using HTML table cells, and by encoding in the visual left-to-right order rather than the logical right-to-left order actually used in these rendered texts (provided that you use the required font, else the text has no meaning with standard fonts made for the Latin script). So look precisely: there's no BiDi override in the HTML pages, and the texts are coded in the reverse order: this is evident when you look at the position of digits and at the space logically added after colons, but presented before them if you read texts correctly from right to left. There's no Latin script in those pages, which just use Latin as a convenient cypher meant to be used with the appropriate font. __________________________________________________________________ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed Spam messages and set aside Newsletters for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! http://www.ellaforspam.com
