I have a little project for preparing a vocabulary for an Ivrith student. — The text should be typeset with Arial. However, when I try to use it I get the vowel points between the glyphs instead of thereunder. — So my question is, does anybody have experience with the use of Arial for typesetting Hebrew?

On my laptop (MacOS) and my brother’s (Ubuntu), the described problem occurs. -- I thought already, it is related to the font itself. I tried in the meantime Liberation-Regular-Sans which gives the right result. Thank you for your input!
