GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 636582
Font previews are wrong!
Last modified: 2011-01-10 11:53:33 UTC
I don't know where to start, First problem is: The sample sentence does not necessarily appears in the same language as the font, meaning that if I have a Hebrew system and I want to install an Arabic or English font there won't be any sample. The second one: The Hebrew (and probably Arabic and Persian) sample is aligned in the wrong direction.

Created attachment 175910 [details] DejaVu Sans on a Hebrew system Preview still appears in reversed order, Hebrew is not right aligned
I also forgot to mention (I can open another bug about it): Hebrew text displayed in reverse order (dlroW olleH instead of Hello World), probably Arabic script writings as well.
