Hello Group !

  Lately I received some hebrew messages in mutt mailer, and mutt, is being run with
gnome-terminal that comes with the default RH8.0 installation.

  Now the problem, is that to see hebrew, I have to change the terminal's font and 
mutt's
encoding... I have changed the encoding (in .muttrc) but had problems with the 
gnome-terminal
Fonts/Profile dialog. It seems it doesn't support any iso8859-8 fonts...

  After googling a little bit, I found an interesting discussion in some debian 
mailing list
and found that gnome-terminal (of gnome2) doesn't support Thai & Chiniese neither. 
Also in the
discussion I found they recommend another terminal : mlterm - Now does anybody have a 
better
alternative ?

  Anyone ever succeded viewing hebrew/iso8859-8 messages through mutt ? I tried to 
save the
file and open it with another hebrew-support-enabled-viewer but I only saw '?''s which 
seems
to be the '?' symbol and not the can-not-read-hebrew one.

  Is there anyway to enable iso8859-8/iso10646-1 fonts in Gnome2 dialog ? These type 
of fonts
are not even listed in the Gnome -> Preferences -> Font dialog...

  If there is no solution, but waiting for the next update of gnome, then,  do you 
have any
idea for a better terminal, which has the ability to change Fonts/Colors and other 
features
of gnome-terminal (from Gnome2) that can be changed without any struggling ?

TIA
