lynx was built for "a terminal". Be that the linux console, xterm, or a VT320 terminal. When lynx knows it is in an ISO-8859-8 terminal (Hebrew), but displays a ISO-8859-1 (latin1) page, it will try to convert all the accented latin characters to their basic forms. (in many cases that page was actually a Hebrew one. But if the page wasn't properly marked, you may have to tell lynx that in the 'O'ptions). Lynx actually has builtin support for character-set conversions. This is the est you can get with a terminal-based program that can't really control the font it will present. But anyway, lynx hs no bidi support. You may run it in a bidi-enabled terminal (e.g: konsole), but this is far from proper application-level bidi support. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
