Any news here? I do some support for Mozilla users, and this issue has risen a 
few times (even for logical pages, they come out too long on printing).
Any fix/solution comming?

This is indeed problematic. I'm looking for ways to do Hebrew word processing in
Linux, and if Mozilla could print Hebrew properly, I could simply export HTML
from Word on Windows (or from AbiWord+BIDI, which segfaults on print).

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".

Removing URL, since Haaretz switched to logical Hebrew a while ago.
Also, added "Visual Hebrew" to summary.

This seems to be WORKSFORME now. I tested a bunch of Visual Hebrew sites (using the list at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=188870). I didn't see any problems with font-size in printing. In particular
http://www.ribak.8m.com/Canada/Story5.htm, where the text fills most of the width of the page.
