Export to openZIM produced the best result. I read it on the Kiwix reader for Windows. Directionality was OK, the right font was used for Hebrew, but a wrong one for IPA (it may have been hard for the converter to understand it, because in the English Wikipedia IPA font is applied by JS).
openZim uses HTML internally - and I would suppose that it uses MediaWiki to generate that HTML. So the openZim export should give you pretty much the same HTML you'd see on the web site.
Any problems with it would likely be problems with the reader. I don't know what Kiwix uses to render HTML, but it seems likely that it doesn't suppot JS.
Kiwix is based on xulrunner (Gecko) and consequently has the same JS and HTML render engines as Firefox. If you have a wrong behaviour related to JS, maybe something went wrong during the ZIM creation process.
In any case please open bug reports, that we may be able to investigate issues, at http://reportabug.kiwix.org
And it probably shouldn't, since things relyong on URL parameters, skin internals, etc, would break anyway.
This is one of the challenges during the ZIM creation process: rewrite urls, download extern dependences, etc.
To me, applying important font changes with JS is simply the Wrong Thing to do. All content should be readable without using JS.
OK, this is a point of view which will certainly make debate ;)
