'SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk" ./soffice'

Hebrew text for "כותרת 1" (Heading 1) is seen after editing this style

I chose the style "כותרת 1" (Heading 1), and edited it:
Styles > Edit Style... > Font

The original Western font was Liberation Sans, bold, 130%
The original CTL font was Miriam CLM for Hebrew, bold, 130%

I changed the Western font to David CLM. No other changes were made.
Now, Hebrew letters are seen in the dropdown's list for this list item.

Looks like the dropdown list does not try to use the CTL font in this case.

Not seeing this with LO 5.4.1.2 on Lubuntu 17.10 . Also, when I set the UI to Hebrew, the vertical side-bar is on the left, not the right like in the screenshots.

Hi Omer,
I guess we can close this as RESOLVED WORKSFORME then.
