Hi,

I have checked in all faces that HOLAM HASER FOR VAV is properly positioned.

There has been some controversy about this character. See attached test file, which contains some links.

Thanks, Anonymous!

This is a oomplicatd issue. Besides the proper Hebrew point placement, there are the issues of mark placement in the font, which also depends on encoding direction, as well as the fact that there is a pre-composed glyph U+FB4B.

It may take some thought to work out.

It would be nice to have some Unicode text to work with.

<U+05D5 U+05BA> (HEBREW LETTER VAV, HEBREW POINT HOLAM HASER FOR VAV) should look like a vav with a dot above left. However, it looks like a vav with a dot directly above. That is, it incorrectly looks the same as <U+05D5 U+05B9> (HEBREW LETTER VAV, HEBREW POINT HOLAM), which is ḥolam male, not ḥolam ḥaser.
