Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evince

When viewing a Hebrew document, and trying to find an expression within
the document, the string is being searched in reverse to natural order.
For example, when trying to find "לימוד" in the document, the find input
would have to be "דומיל" for the find to succeed. (If you can't see the
hebrew example, it's equivalent to  typing "elpmaxe" in order to search
"example".

To reproduce:

1) Open http://www.shatil.org.il/files/arabedu_hebrew-arabedu.pdf 
(just an example pdf document).
2) Press Ctrl-F.
3) Type "לימוד".

No find results are displayed, though the word appears in the document
multiple times. Searching for the reversed string succeeds.
