That page is rendering just fine here. Do other applications display hebrew?
Blocks: xft_tracking
Sure, other applications (including konqueror and mozilla 1.3a) display this (and any other hebrew pages) correctly. I will try to compile a tar.gz (not rpm) version of 1.3b... maybe this would work...
Compiled from the tarball - mozilla-source-1.3b.tar.gz. Got segfault. Program /tmp/moz/lib/mozilla-1.3b/mozilla-bin (pid = 17653) received Segmentation fault signal.

Compiled it on RH72 - no problem with hebrew, no problem at all. Works great. Will try to compile with gcc296 on RH80 to see if it's compiler related...
Compiled with gcc296 on RH : /tmp/bin/mozilla *** Registering nsSampleModule components (all right -- a generic module!) /tmp/lib/mozilla-1.3b/mozilla-bin: relocation error: /spare/tmp/lib/mozilla-1.3b/components/libxpconnect.so: undefined symbol: __14nsAutoLockBasePvQ214nsAutoLockBase14nsAutoLockType Will go back to 1.3a. 1.3b just does not work on RH 8.0!
I downgraded from 1.3b to 1.3a and was working happily with hebrew untill 1.3 came out. Installed 1.3 and guess what - no more hebrew. 1.3a worked great... What the heck happened to hebrew since 1.3b !!! ???
Installed new 1.3 - same effect. Is anybody using Mozilla 1.3 and hebrew ? Is anybody interested in fixing this bug at all ? I'm willling to provide whatever information you need to fix this bug, bug nobody seems to give a ****...
For me Mozilla 1.3 on RH 71 displays Hebrew just fine with TrueType and PCF fonts.
I am working with 1.5 on both debian unstable and gentoo, and Hebrew is fine here. Reporter, are you still seeing this with 1.5?
Marking this as WORKSFORME since there's little traffic on the bug.
