After changing font.properties.iw to font.properties ( and after backup the original one), I tried to write some Hebrew literals in the editor. It worked pretty nice, but after saving the file, all the Hebrew gone. That's because the source didn't saved as UTF8 properly. Only the first byte was written for each Hebrew literal to the disk. In addition the English fonts looked less nice, when I used the font.properties.iw configuration file.

I think this is not possible to do it from editor module. I think this should be done in openide. Re-assign if I am wrong.
Is your "platform default encoding" according to Java set to UTF-8? If not, I don't think it will work; the IDE currently has no mechanism for associating encodings with particular files, it will use your system default in most situations.
I'd move the issue into the java module, since loading/saving source is under its control anyway. If your environment defaults are not set to UTF-8, then NetBeans 3.2 won't handle it properly. For more, please refer to / comment issue #12254 http://java.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12254
No additional feedback - I'm assuming that this issue is the same as the RFE #12254 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 12254 ***
