I second the hopes.

Only, I'd like to have the remaining RTL related bugs fixed.

I use the most recent version of AbiWord in Debian Etch (Testing) in my
laptop, which I use for computer assisted notetaking.
This is a stress test for Hebrew handling of this wordprocessor, and
each upgrade I test and get disappointed.

There was a bug of "oscillating" text as characters get added. Few
versions ago, this bug was "fixed" but at the price of breaking words in
middle at end of Hebrew lines.

The bug of rectangles when adding and deleting characters quickly still
appears.

When typing Hebrew text in LTR paragraph, there is still pixel dirt (I
didn't report this bug in Bugzilla).

Currently, I use gedit instead of AbiWord for notetaking when I do not
need to have large fonts displayed.
