This is a bit off-topic:

On the solaris server I at work the ISO-8859-8 codepage is not installed.

  $ locale -m
  iso_8859_1/charmap.src

(compared to a very long list in my linux box)

Thus I'm forced to use an "8bit" keyboard mapping for X programs I run
from this server.

Any pointers as to how this can be ammnded? (preferably things I can run
as a user)
