      The problem was found on JDK1.2rc1 and JDK1.2rc2, with Windows NT 4.0 Hebrew Enabled.
      (I didn't check it on Windows 95 Hebrew Enabled yet.)

      When using JTextArea or JTextField (I think also JTextPane and JTextEditor),
      and entering Hebrew text, the string looks fine, although it's left-aligned.

      The caret position, however is wrong.
      This affects 2 major operations:
      1. When trying to enter new text in a string - you can not position the caret to the right place.
      2. When trying to select text (in order to copy/paste it):
         a. Again, can not position the caret to the right place.
         b. And logically the text is selected but visually it's totally wrong (The strings look horizontally rotated.)
