Hey! Upgrading from wine-0.9.45 to wine-0.9.46 makes the letters appear as expected. However, they are justified left and in the reverse order (so שלום reads as םולש).
Yes, it's a known regression. The BiDi code has undergone a minor rewrite by Maarten Lankhorst. This rewrite temporarily (I hope) disabled it by mistake. A patch to fix that has been submitted, but I'm has not yet been applied in git.
Note that ListPro, the app that I _really_ need to work, still produces "Swedish vowels" when I type in Hebrew.
Ok, Dmitry, and idea how to debug that one?
This may actually be a bug in ListPro. Try working with a non-unicode locale. Also, make sure the locale is the same for LANG and LC_CTYPE. Set it to "he_IL" or "he_IL.ISO-8859", and see whether that solves the problem. Not all applications take to multi-byte characters well in ANSI mode.
And now, the Hebrew that was in the ListPro files displays backwards, wherein it displayed correctly with wine-0.9.45.
That's part of the same regression. I'm hoping it will get fixed by 0.9.46.
