xine-lib is currently compiled without fribidi support, which apparently prevents it from properly displaying right-to-left scripts such as Hebrew. Enabling fribidi in the stock package would be more multi-language friendly.
This task depends upon

Hmm. Mplayer is also not compiled with fribidi support.

There's no such thing as fribidi support in xine-lib. Could you provide me with information how to support bidirectional fonts in xine? I can't find anything about patches or configure options to enable it, nor does "grep -rli 'fribidi' *" from the xine-lib sources give me any hints about how to enable. The fact that xine uses its own font format is also not so very helpful in this case, so I guess this is just a design flaw in xine, not something that we can fix by "compiling with fribidi support".

Ah, sorry, I should have looked into this one more. I had thought that xine could support fribidi as mplayer can.
