(Get the code!)
I've been using Ubuntu for 10 years and have never before seen such a thing. However I've always done the updates in English.
In this case I was helping a friend whose English is less than great, so I configured his computer with Hebrew as the primary language. To answer your question, unfortunately, no, I don't have a screen shot. First of all, I didn't think of the idea on the spot. Second, I'm not at all sure that I could have used the Ubuntu screen shot program at that stage.
What I can say is that he has a dual boot with win7 and Ubuntu. On my systems, Ubuntu has always been the boss, with windows running only in a virtual box, if and when I need it.
In any case the letter spacing was fixed for any given letter. It was as if was using the spacing for the Hebrew letter when printing an English letter in its space. When it printed a given word, it was always messed up in exactly the same way. An English "i" which requires minimal space was given a lot of space. An English "m" which is wide overlapped another letter, i.e. the spacing for a Hebrew font used with English characters.
