Re: Improved pango engine modules/hebrew/hebrew-x.c

Hi Dov,

I'm glad that, at least, there is another person helping to have this
done better.

I haven't seen the attachment for the patch and haven't seen
any updated in CVS.

Could you send it again ?

Thanks,

Chookij V.

] * The program ttmkfdir does not create any "iso10646-1" entries.

]    tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
