New issue 6806 by x...@chromium.org: Text not rendered correctly in RTL  
Chrome on English Windows XP
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6806

<see b/1206120>

When running the Hebrew or Arabic version of Chrome on a Windows XP
English, some of the Chrome text is displayed with boxes.

This problem occurs because the English version of Windows XP does not
install right-to-left languages by default and therefore any directional
Unicode formatting characters are displayed as boxes. This problem goes
away if the right-to-left languages are installed by going to Control
Pannel -> Regional and Language Options.

The priority of this bug is pretty low because the vast majority of
Hebrew/Arabic Chrome users will either use a localized version of Windows
or they will have the right-to-left languages already installed.

What we can do is let the user know that the right-to-left fonts need to be
installed (rather than simply launch Chrome with gibberish text).
