Severity: wishlist
Tags: l10n, patch
The current VCL.xcu file requests Hebrew fonts which uncommon on UN*X systems.
This seems to result in at least two bugs which render the Hebrew interface
essentially unusable. See bugs 273783 and 269152. As most Hebrew users
have the culmus fonts installed, it seems sensible to request a culmus
font for the UI (and possibly other Hebrew elements). The attached patch
selects the Ellinia CLM font, which has been reported to work well by
several users (including the submitter :).
