If you are using reportlab toolkit directly then you'll need to have a font that 
allows both Hebrew & latin glyphs. We can do both if the font supports that in 
simple strings. If you use a paragraph then you can switch back and forth using 
  <font> tags inside the paragraph text. The hard part for us is the automatic 
glyph ordering.
