The nikud placement is good to excellent in the fonts tried so far.
However, I tried a few more, and found one that's terrible: Aharoni
Following is output from M-x describe-char with cursor on the double-yud
character in the first word of the first paragraph. This font seems to
systematically misplace not all but most base char + nikud combinations in my
sample file. (Screen shot attached.) Any way to fix this?
Thanks,
Mark
