Hi David,

No, you're right.  Now U+05B3 has a reference to U+05B8.

I have some questions I'd like to bounce off you, that don't really go in this bug-report format.
Could you write me at <stevan.white@gmail.com>, please?

Thanks!

FreeSans and FreeSerif are good.

In FreeMono, the contrast between U+05C7 and U+05B8 is good. However, the qamats part of U+05B3 HEBREW POINT HATAF QAMATS looks like U+05C7 instead of U+05B8. I’m not sure it’s wrong, but it makes me suspicious. Can you confirm that it is intentional?

OK, I made them distinct.  Hope they're distinct enough.

U+05C7 HEBREW POINT QAMATS QATAN looks identical to U+05B8 HEBREW POINT QAMATS in FreeMono, FreeSans, and FreeSerif, but they are used contrastively.

Most pointed Hebrew texts don’t distinguish between qamats gadol and qamats qatan, so they use U+05B8 for both, but texts that do distinguish them need U+05B8 and U+05C7 to look different.
