I had just seen that character encoding, myself, and was about to post
it back to the list when your message came in.  Changing the monospace
font for Hebrew (Windows-1255) did solve the problem.  Since this seems
to be (I hope) a fluke that is not likely to come up frequently (if at
all) I am not really going to worry about it.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
