  I know it's been a while...but I managed to "puzzle together" a script 
that would look for the hebrew hex value and then reverse only the 
hebrew...it's not a very "smart" script and I also wrote it in a way 
where it checks for the "latin1"-charset encoding of the hebrew letters. 
What I mean is that the DB of my provider is in latin1-charset, where 
the site runs with utf-8. I hope one day they'll change it...anyway, you 
can always change the hex-range in the script...if you want it, I'll 
send it to you...
Or maybe you have a more "elegant" solution for this problem?
(it came up when I started making a site with a gifbuilder-banner and 
some of the tt_news and page titles where in mixed latin and hebrew letters)
