Re: Problems with Hebrew font after "playing around" with Arial



Hi idoesh :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Make sure that Auto-select at the top of the Encoding box in View is not
checked.

Make sure the the Encoding you want is selected in the list, such as Hebrew.
If it does not show up at first, click on More....and see if it is there. If
it is not checked, check it and see if that helps.

Then go to IE>Tools>Internet Options>General>Accessibility
Make sure none of the boxes there are checked if not needed.
For normal viewing, there should be no boxes checked in this section.

Hope this helps.

I foolishly opened the font Arial with a HEX Editor and ever since I'm
having problems viewing pages in IE - only in hebrew.
I narrowed the problem down to sites that offer choices of fonts in the
source, for example: "font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif". In those
sites, instead of Arial, different and less legible fonts are chosen.
Parts
of the sites that are Bold or Italic show Arial correctly.
If a site only allows "font-family: arial" - the entire site is shown
correctly.

Here are the steps I took to try and solve the problem:
1. Reinstalled the font Arial.
2. Restored all of IE defaults.
3. Reinstalled the Internet Explorer Hebrew Language Pack.
4. Reinstalled IE.

Any advice regarding how to resolve this annoyance will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Ido
