[libreoffice-users] Struggling with Hebrew in LO

Dear List,

I'm struggling with using mixed English and Hebrew text in LO.  This is
a fully up-to-date LO 5.1.4.2 in a new installation of Linux Mint.

When I type English text, the letters come out in the right order, but the
punctuation goes at the beginning of the line, until the next letter is typed
which is strange but sort-of-OK in mid-sentence but no good at end of the
paragraph.

Attempting to combine Hebrew and English text in the same sentence, as it
were to say 'shalom' in flight, assembles the language blocks the wrong
way round.  Using Alt-Ctrl-8 and Alt-Ctrl-9 doesn't seem to fix this and
the Shift-Ctrl-D and Alt-Shift combinations are also dysfunctional.  The
font-name (selected as SBL Hebrew) switches once characters are typed to
DejaVu Sans.

This is probably all very familiar to someone (if not all), so anyone
help me to get this working correctly, please?

Jonathan
