[bt-devel] Hebrew text into OpenOffice?

[Martin Gruner]

Christopher,

the problem is that OOO uses libfreetype2 for the rendering, and BibleTime / 
Gnomesword use their respective toolkits, which do a better job on Hebrew. I 
don’t think it’ll work 100% in OOO until libfreetype2 is being fixed...

Sorry.
