[OOo-Hebrew] Problem with font display

[Shmuel Himelstein]

I've found that since version 2.4 (maybe 2.3), certain of my Hebrew
documents are showing Arabic numerals rather than the normal Roman numerals
we all use (e.g., "5" appears like a modified "v").



I have the same problem with 3.0 beta.



Any suggestions will be welcomed.



Incidentally, all these documents appear fine in MS Word.



I can send a document if anyone wants to see it.



Thanks,



Shmuel Himelstein

This is the infamous bug #88601. It's solved in development for 2.4.1, and in
a branch that is yet to be merged into 3.0; 2.4.1 with a fix is due in June,
until then you may use the Hebrew 2.3.1 version (but it has some security
problems).

And BTW, the 'v' is 7, 5 looks like an 0; Roman numerals are the MMDIII type,
and the 2008 type are called Arabic numerals; the numerals you see (those
used in Arabic and related languages) are called Hindi numerals.

Have fun,

reuven replied to me only, but I assume the message is intended for the list.
If you have problems reading Hebrew: I forgot to mention it, but there is an
extension for OpenOffice.org which fixes this bug in 2.4.0; google and ye
shall find.

הי,
יש לבאג זה הרחבה.
חפש בגוגל ותמצא. ההרחבה מתאימה גם לגירסה 2.4. בגירסה המוקדמת של 3.0
הבאג עדין מופיע.
ראובן
