Description
Please change the subcategory if this isn't the right one. thx.

The  xxxxx Wi8rf has B&H's Type 1 Hebrew (ISO8859-8) fonts that are being
used in UTF-8 locales of Solaris to support Hebrew.
The Hebrew fonts are showing the glyphs of the Hebrew characters at
S10 build 73 especially at x86 system. (It was okay until S10 build 72).

The x86 system that I'm using is a P3 500MHz IBM Aptiva and has 
ATI EXPERT@PLAY (8MB) PCI graphics card.

To reroduce, have a similar system, CDE or JDS login with en_US.UTF-8
locale and then do:

xfd -fn "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-8"

There is no Hebrew glyphs shown at the xfd window. However, the following
seem okay:

xfd -fn "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso8859-8"

or Monotype TT fonts:

xfd -fn "-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-8"

I compared the *.pfa font files and fonts.dir/scale files from  xxxxx Wi8rf
between S9U4 (which works fine) and the S10 build 73 and found there was no
differences.

BTW, I've also replaced the S10 x86 B74b packages from /net/paravon/ but
that didn't cure the problem.
