Nevertheless, in this case, the fix might have broken something else as it probably caused the following regression reported in Debian today: https://bugs.debian.org/822958 Citing from there: Bi-directional text rendering is broken. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-left_mark [screenshots skipped, can be found in the bug report] With lynx 2.8.9dev9-1, the exclamation mark is no longer at the correct place. With lynx 2.8.9dev8-4, there was also an issue: the replacement characters after "the order of the Hebrew characters is". Note: in the same mlterm, the w3m browser is OK. I can't reproduce the regression in an uxterm since it always seems to show the exclamation mark at the end, independent of the lynx version. (mlterm shows the exclamation mark indeed at different places, but only shows boxes instead of hebrew characters for me.)
