Thanks for the quick response.

I use OO v2.1 international, not Hebrew. Should i file it at org.il or
at the main international site?

As for the problem itself - i thought about it a little more and it
seems that the root cause of it is the inflexibility of "Options ->
Language Settings -> Languages". It allows one Western language, one
Asian language and one CTL language. Even the usage of the word CTL is
problematic - most Israelis don't know what CTL means and don't know
that Hebrew is a kind of CTL. Probably there should be some default
font for every language, like in Mozilla (Mozilla's GUI for font
selection is very bad, but at least it is flexible).

Come to think of it, maybe OO can try to detect whether IE and/or
Mozilla are already installed at the same machine and get the font
definitions for every language there to save time for the user.
