Thanks, Glenn, for the suggestion. Here is the FO file, which I call mini.fo.xml, without any of the XML/XSL encrustation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"><fo:layout-master-set><fo:simple-page-master master-name="myPage"><fo:region-body/></fo:simple-page-master></fo:layout-master-set><fo:page-sequence master-reference="myPage"><fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"><fo:block font-family="FreeSans"><fo:block/>[1] RTL insert קום <fo:block/>[2] (parens wrong).<fo:block/>[3] Back to normal because of this RTL insert: בּ .</fo:block></fo:flow></fo:page-sequence></fo:root> I convert to PDF using fop-1.1 like this: /tmp/fop-1.1/fop -c mini-fo.cfg -fo mini.fo.xml mini.pdf The cfg file is just to define a Hebrew-aware font, FreeSans. As before, the pdftotext version of the PDF output looks like [1] RTL insert קום ]2[ )parens wrong(. [3] Back to normal because of this RTL insert: ּ. ב showing the bug.
