The changes to Frank-Ruehl were part of a small project that I did a number of years ago, that used heuristics (same as in Pango) to build OpenType GPOS tables for any Hebrew font. I used CLM Frank-Reuhl as my test font for the scripts. I remember that there were a few problems left with my GPOS generating script, and since I did not want to do any manual polishing (since that would disable the ability to run the script again), I ended up not releasing anything at all. But since what I have is a lot better than the current Culmus font, I guess that I should release it as is. Who is in charge of Culmus these days?
And yes, of course it runs on a normal Linux box. All the maemo specific stuff is protected in in try/except on the Python. All you need is Python/Gtk.
