When you use CSS for the first letter of an element, and the element contains numbers, all text after these numbers won't show.
Internet Explorer and Opera both handle it well.

Happens with hebrew-1255 encoding.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a webpage with <p>אבגד 123 הוזח</p>  (these are Hebrew letters)
2. for that element, define something with the first-letter pseudoclass. for example, p:first-letter { font-weight: bold; }
3. open that page.
4. change encoding to hebrew (windows-1255)
Actual Results:  
אבגד
(even when I highlight it)
(notice that these were the FIRST four letters in that example)

Expected Results:  
אבגד 123 הוזח

In the attached example, notice the first paragraph cutting off. 
That's because of the CSS file: http://www.tau.ac.il/humanities/iranian/css/group1291.css
and the lines in that CSS file:
p:first-letter { 
		font-weight: bold;
		font-size: 1.2em; }
When I remove these lines, all is well.

Could you perhaps test with a nightly trunk build to see if you still see the problem?

If you still see the problem with a nightly trunk build, could you then create a testcase, by using the "Add an attachment" link? Thanks!
