Major rendering bug affecting Hebrew in pango has been fixed

[Dov Grobgeld]

This might be interesting to someone on the list.

A major bug affecting rendering of Hebrew with justification in pango has
been fixed after more than 8 years.

See the following animated gif showing the rendering before and after the
latest pango updates.

Though the animated gif shows Hebrew with nikud, the problem exists just
the same without nikud.

My only contribution was reporting the bug and giving feedback to Behdad
who fixed it.

Regards,
Dov
