Description sforbes 2003-10-20 12:34:43 UTC 
the default font for Hebrew CTL text in OOo is Tahoma. However, on MacOSX, by
default the version of tahoma installed does not contain Hebrew glyphs.

The result: All Hebrew text by default is squers, until the user changes the
font to something else.

Accepting, am investigating Hebrew support in 1.1 on OS X.

The attached patch solves this as long as you:

1) Have Hebrew set as your locale in the International pane of System Preferences
2) Are using the patch from Issue 23926
3) Have Tools->Options->Language Settings->Languages->Locale Setting == Hebrew
4) Have Tools->Options->Language Settings->Languages->CTL == Hebrew

Please approve for commit to 111fix2

Hi Dan, 
 
Since all of these changes are in the Hebrew section of VCL.xcu this is fine. 
 
Approved.
