Re: [OOo-Hebrew] gutman fonts

Hi Yitzchak,

  I've tested aleph-lamed combinations in FreeSans on Hebrew 2.0, 
English 2.0 (downloaded from the OOo site) and English 2.0.1 (also 
downloaded from the OOo site), and on the latest Debian package. The 
problem only exists in the Debian version. I don't know what the Debian 
people put into their build, but the problem doesn't happen anywhere else.
