strange problem with digits in Libreoffice

[Daniel Shahaf]

Perhaps it's a font issue?  Screenshot the "שלום 3 2 1" on both
computers and check whether the digits are from the same font?  Try
pdftotext on the PDF and see it emits digits?  Diff the list of
installed packages (`dpkg -l`) on the two machines?  Try running
libreoffice under a new user to rule out ~/.* configuration?
A difference in /etc or debconf choices seems unlikely.

Hope this helps — even if it's just a bunch of shots in the dark…

Cheers,

Daniel
