(ISO-8859-8-i is not relevant. You need ISO-8859-8 . 8-i is only used in
mail and HTML (e.g: where mime-types are used), but it is not a character
set: it only describes how to interpert the characters.)

But can you set this on runtime?
re-mounting a partition is not fun, and sometimes not possible.
BTW: does KDE still have problems with setting the charset to ISO-8859-8 ?
