[Bug 23267] Re: Default Hebrew fonts in Firefox are unreadable, ugly

[Rich Wales]

Here's a sample of Hebrew text from the same WIkipedia article
("Mezuzah") -- as seen in Firefox in Windows.  This is what Hebrew with
"vowel points" is supposed to look like.  Again, note that the vowel
points are positioned under, over, or in the middle of the letters --
which is NOT the way they currently look when I view this or other pages
in Firefox while running Ubuntu.

I checked my Hebrew font settings in Firefox, and they are exactly the
same as what "mangar" reported earlier.

For comparison's sake, I installed Konqueror and looked at this same web
page in Konqueror.  The text of the Hebrew blessing looks better in
Konqueror, but there are still problems.  I'll include a screen shot in
a followup comment.
