User feedback: Netscape 6.1 Problem Primary Browser: ntsc4x Operating System: Mac8.6 Language: English Issue Summary: Hebrew does not display correctly in Netscape 6.1 Component: Navigator Doing What: Browsing web pages Severity: SomethingDidNotWorkRight Can Reproduce: Always Try this URL: http://www.walla.co.il Issue Detail: In Netscape 6.1, Hebrew pages do not display like they should; the individual letters are correct but the words are backwards.The word "house" for example, would look like "esuoh". All character encoding variations of Hebrew didn't work. While using Communicator 4.78, I use the Western (MacRoman) encoding with fonts for Hebrew like Ariela ISO, NeText and NaveInternet Normal. In Netscape 6.1, in the Fonts pane in Preferences, these fonts don't appear in the list of fonts under "Hebrew" in the "Fonts for" menu. Only regular Hebrew fonts (for word processing) appear, and they don't work on web pages. Note that this is only for VISUAL Hebrew. For LOGICAL Hebrew, I use the User-Defined encoding (in Communicator 4.78) with the Hebrew font "Hermon" as the Proportional and Fixed font. Trying Western (MacRoman) with Hebrew web fonts in Netscape 6.1 didn't work either.

Dup of bug 80577 (same url too). I vagely remember (haven't found the bug in bugzilla yet) that there was a problem with Internet Explorer that put words backwards. So people started to code their webpages also backwards. Mozilla should do it right, but now all these websites don't display correctly. Don't know what the solution is.

i was going to reference bug 81943, but johan is correct. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 80577 ***
