[Debian-hebrew-common] state of rendering in firefox

[Lior Kaplan]

Hi Ely,

I wrote about this issue at http://linmagazine.co.il/node/view/11988

You can see the the bug with the patch in it, is still open - meaning it
didn't get into version 1.5. I doubtful that it will enter the debian
package.

I've wrote a mail to the pango maintainer to see if he'll upload to
unstable soon.
