After some searching around I found this discussion at http://sfdev.tapuz.co.il/shirshur-236-156463935.htm which explains that the problem is to do with the fonts. It seems that the default Ubuntu font (i.e. the one named Ubuntu) does not support Hebrew properly, so instead it displays squares. (Try typing Hebrew in a word processor and changing the font to Ubuntu - the characters are displayed as squares).
A workaround is to set the Locale to English (or another language that the Ubuntu font displays correctly), from within LibreOffice go to Tools -> Options, View and untick 'Use System Font'. Then set the locale back to Hebrew and all displays correctly, albeit in a different font. So either the Ubuntu font needs to be expanded to include the characters for Hebrew, or there needs to be some sort of fall-back font that LibreOffice menus can use when the characters for the current language are not supported by the default font. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908465 Title: Hebrew Menus texts unreadable - characters show up as square blocks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/908465/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
