Thanks for all the responses. I changes Ubuntu's locale to Hebrew (if you meant to change Wine's, I don't know how.) The results are worse. None of the menus of the program are readable.
Do you have Hebrew fonts installed? If yes, you need to setup aliases for missing fonts, and perhaps have ms core fonts installed. There are bugs reported for incomlete BiDi support in Wine.
OK, we're getting closer - I went to System .... Language Support and changed everything to Hebrew, rebooted. I don't know if this is legit, but since mscore fonts were already installed on Ubuntu, I copied from a Vista machine on the network Arial, David, Times, and Tahoma into the Wine fonts folder - It worked completely!!
Here's the thing - I don't want the entire computer in Hebrew. My client speaks Hebrew, but he's a native English speaker. Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks to everyone who's been answering - this is terrific.
