Hi Yitzchak,
I've tested aleph-lamed combinations in FreeSans on Hebrew 2.0,
English 2.0 (downloaded from the OOo site) and English 2.0.1 (also
downloaded from the OOo site), and on the latest Debian package. The
problem only exists in the Debian version. I don't know what the Debian
people put into their build, but the problem doesn't happen anywhere else.

My second bug is that when I type a date such as 16/1/2006 format, but using
numeral 1/2 or 1/4 ooo converts it the minaturized half or quater symbols
I am experience a similar bug that is very serious.
Using the FreeSans font in OO Writer on Debian testing
(standard OOo package, currently OOo 2.0.0-5),
the letters alef and lamed ALWAYS combine into
a combination character. It does not matter what
order I type the letters in, or what they are surrounded
by. It even happens if I type alef and lamed separated
by a different letter, and then delete the different letter.
(This would have been a great feature if OOo had
come out a few hundred years ago, but I think we
missed the deadline by a bit this time. :) )
The only way I can prevent this is by inserting something
invisible in between the alef and the lamed. Right now
I am using a space that I scale down to zero and then
manually compress character spacing to approximate
the proper spacing - a real annoyance. I think there is
some zero-width unicode character that could be used
here instead, but I have no idea what it is or how to type
it.
In any case, this is a serious bug - modern usage should
obviously be the default.
OTOH, I am not experiencing Menashe's version of the
bug with fractions. On my platform, the sequence turns
into a fraction only when surrounded by whitespace, and
only just when I type a space immediately following the
sequence. So it is easy to keep the original sequence if
I want it. Also, I see that this can be turned off completely
on the Options tab of Tools / AutoCorrect.
Thanks,
Yitzchak
