I can confirim this also happens in the Hebrew version of Office (Office XP). Searching BIDI (Bi Directional) on the Wine WIKI brought up some kind of issue with ICU in configuring and compiling wine from May 2008, but I could find no test for ICU in the configure script (from the latest git tip). Using native riched20.dll and riched32.dll did not improve the situation. Note that notepad DOES correctly display hebrew, so this is an Office specific behaviour. What logs would help?
