Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.4-3
Severity: important

It is impossible to read some Hebrew sites that use vowels beneath letters
(nekudot).  An example is www.hebrewtoday.com.  The nekudot appear below and
next to letters rather than just below.  This makes the site mostly illegible.
I am ashamed to report that it works on IE on Windows.  The encoding of the
characters is valid although the whole page isn't valid HTML.

There is a patch for this - see http://blacksapphire.com/firefox-rtl/.  Can
this be incorporated into Debian please.  I'm not sure if there are plans to
merge it into the main repository.
