--- Comment #17 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalroz at technion.ac.il> ---
Khaled,

* Those fonts are just an example of the problem. I chose them because they are
two of the, say, six or so most popular fonts in use for writing Hebrew in MS
Office / LibreOffice . So even without access to them - it could be various
other fonts. Now it is true that not all fonts behave like this, and it could
very well be some bug in font-loading-related code (since fonts are being mixed
up
* The legal situation in different states in the world is different; and
Millions of Hebrew users have legal rights to be using these fonts
* Even in the US context (which I'm assuming you're referring to though I could
be wrong) - I am certain that you using these files in order to resolve this
issue is covered by "fair use" (e.g. as described here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use )
* Even given what you've said, the outcome should be restricting the platform
to Linux rather than closing as WFM.
