TrueType Hebrew fonts have stopped working in libreoffice writer

[Celejar <celejar@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Some update seems to have badly broken Hebrew (CTL) fonts in
libreoffice writer. They have all worked fine until recently, but
something recently broke horribly. I'm running mostly stable, with some
backports. The problem is described in more detail here:

Anyone seeing this? Any ideas? I don't see any errors spewed to the
terminal. FWIW, I don't have libreoffice's Java recommendations /
suggestions installed. [I never have, and it never seemed to be much of
a problem except for a routine complaint on startup.]
