           Summary: accents and punctuations in Liberation fonts are off
                    writing hebrew texts

Description of problem:
I am using Open Office (but not related to it, as far as I can tell) to write
some text in Hebrew language with accents and punctuations. 

I get the punctuation marks off the right place in which they suppose to be. 

It works fine with several Open-Type fonts (Ezra SIL, Deja Vu...) so I guess it
is an issue with the internals of the font itself ?

(I hope I filed a bug report in the right place ;-)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
I can send a pdf or screen shot if it can help

Steps to Reproduce:
1.write some punctuated Hebrew text in OpenOffice Writer
2.apply the Liberation Sans font to the text
3.
  
Actual results:
punctuation is off the font's position

Expected results:
punctuation should be under the respective font in which it was typed for.
