Hi,

We had similar problem in IE with Hindi, and the following steps fixed it.

1. In IE, go to Tools> Internet Options ...
2. Click on Fonts ... under General tab.
3. Choose under Language script: Latin Based
4. Change Web Page font to Arial Unicode MS
5. Choose under Language script: Hebrew
6. Confirm or choose Web Page font to Arial Unicode MS
7. Click OK to get out of Font dialogue box.
8. Click Apply then OK to get out of Internet Options dialogue box
9. Refresh the page and try again.

This **MAY** work.  It worked for us.

Good Luck

Hajime
