I was sent this by a user recently. He is complaining of the following:

  1. A very poor font for Hebrew (see document attached)
  2. Some keyboard functions do not work while the keyboard language is set to Hebrew, such is letter note input and ctrl shortcuts
  3. Strange input insertion point on the New Score Wizard (see document)

Better have those images inline:
1. the "poor font"

This most probably is FreeSerif, the default font in 3.5, but withouzt a sampls score that's hard to tell.
And we'd need to check how it looks in Edwin

  1. (no image)
    Might relate to Hebrew being a RtL language? If so Arab would be affected too?

  2. The curser:

    I don't think it is MuseScore's fault though?

We'd also need a better explanation of what is poor about the font, since most of us don't read Hebrew. But if the default fonts aren't to your liking, you can simply switch to another.
