I have finally got around to having a look at the Pango Hebrew
renderer and I have entered various heuristics that makes the
positioning of vowel punctuation much more intelligent. The
earlier version put several points in the wrong places.
I am including both a patch for modules/hebrew/hebrew-x.c as
well as a screenshot showing the first two verses of the Bible,
rendered with the Microsoft Tahoma font.
As regards to font I had to do the following in order to use it:
* The program ttmkfdir does not create any "iso10646-1" entries.
Thus I had to manually enter the fonts.dir directory that
holds the M$ truetype fonts and enter lines like the following:
tahoma.ttf -microsoft-Tahoma-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
And as always when I finally get around to understanding how to do
something within Gtk/Gnome etc, (which takes me some time) I stand in
awe and admiration for the great structure and design created by
Owen Taylor. :-)
Regards,
Dov
