Yes, I understand this.

Correctly.

I attach three files:

- a minimal LibreOffice text document, which displays "Egyptian language" 
as expected,

- the output of hb-view on the "Egyptian language" string, with the 
Aegyptus font,

- a patch for etc/HELLO, which replaces the "Egyptian language" string 
with the correct one (I don't know how the text "Egyptian language" should 
look like).
