The current test fonts downloaded from git://gitorious.org/qtwebkit/testfonts.git do not have support for displaying Hebrew fonts. At least, the following test is failing because of this: editing/selection/extend-selection-bidi.html We should make effort to add the support to test fonts.

msttcorefonts supports hebrew. I am not sure if it makes sense to switch to it. It could be an external dependency. http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/

I tend to agree with Chang. Chromium is using msttcorefonts on Linux - see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxBuildInstructionsPrerequisites. This might also give us perhaps some opportunities to share expected results with Chromium.

Sounds like a good idea to me. We can't redistribute those fonts, but making them an external dependency should be a no-brainer.
