Hello This is a little odd. I have some hebrew latex document, from which I erased all its latex commands and which I saved via Kile (a LaTeX editor) to a text file with the following coding: - iso8859-8 - cp1255 - UTF8 Now there are 2 problems, - I am not sure whether kile works correctly but there is no difference in bytes between the 8859-8 and cp1255 version. Using the command file hebrew.txt both files are classified as 8859-8. The UTF8 file is regarded as such by `file'. - when I open the UTF8 file in Xemacs-21.5.29 Mule, it is displayed as hebrew. - when I open the cp1255 file or 8859-8 files it is not. Well I thought: this is a font problem. I have a couple of 8859-8 fonts installed on my Laptop. So I switched in the files of question the fonts via the function (defun my-hebrew-xemacs-etl-set-240 () (interactive) (set-face-font 'default "-etl-*-*-*-*-*-*-240-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-8") ) (This font exists as I checked via xfontsel.) But to my surprise the non ascii letters are not displayed as hebrew. That is the problem?
