hi,

Here is a thumb rull, for EVERY standart there is a Microsoft standart as well !
Now in this case iso8859-8 is 100% (as far as i know) the same as cp1255 with one exception: The name :)
and the code of charset type, ie when you need to state the name of the charset you will write cp1255 insted of iso8850-8.
