It's just the "equivalence" characters. Hmm... actually there are a number of those, aren't there? Not just Hebrew but combined Latin chars as well. ARRRRGH. I could solve the problem for Hebrew, specifically, with a small table. But I assume that would not be a solution you would favor. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
