Says who?! Machba?! I certainly use proportional fonts for viewing my
Hebrew Web pages, as doing stuff in fixed fonts is *ugly*.
Instead of useing spaces to align hebrew text, as HUJI do,
I just use a table and put the text with an ALIGN=RIGHT tag.
This way, I get right-aligned text in a real way an can use proportional
fonts. This works fine for MSWin(yuck) Netscape and X Netscape.
If you want to wait for a R to L HTML standard, well, ... :-)
