What do you mean exactly? If mc and others can't operate with 8859-8 specs well - it is their problem which should be reported to software developers. It is not FreeBSD problem. FreeBSD intention is to follow standards as much as possible. If some programs have a problems - lets them to be conformant or to make its own separate standards set according to usual standard regulations procedure. We accept 8859-8 full set only or other character sets which are standartized properly. If people don't have enough energy to standartize their modifications, they can't be considered. > The hebrew chars are the same in the both fonts, but in the original fonts > i provided the all the non-hebrew chars are ISO-8859-1's original chars. > anyway i attached the new ISO-8859-8 fonts to the message.

I don't think we need two variants in case second variant is not standartized. If it is not standartized - it is "mea culpa" of people who have not enough energy to standartize. -- Andrey A.
