Hi,

 

I’m running into something weird with Hebrew punctuation. Consider the example below. SBL Hebrew gives me incorrect results when there’s a vaw with a holam =  just before a chet with a patach = חַ => the patach below the chet ist misplaced.

If I remove the holam from the vaw, everything looks ok. Oddly, in Linux Libertine I get the correct results in both cases. Does anyone know what the problem is here? User error? A bug in SBL Hebrew (which would be very odd since that font should be designed specifically for that kind of stuff). A missing seeting?

 

Best,

Denis

 

\definefontfamily[notok][rm][SBL Hebrew][features=hebrew]

\definefontfamily[ok][rm][Linux Libertine O][features=hebrew]

 

\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=unicode]

 

 

\starttext

 

Ok:

{\switchtobodyfont[notok]

חִיוּחוחַ

}

 

Broken:

{\switchtobodyfont[notok]

חִיוּחוֹחַ

}

 

Linux Libertine works in both cases:

 

Ok:

{\switchtobodyfont[ok]

חִיוּחוחַ

}

 

Ok:

{\switchtobodyfont[ok]

חִיוּחוֹחַ

}
