  Target Milestone: ---

When I enter Hebrew text using the font Times New Roman MT30, the niqud (vowel
pointing) is displayed between consonants even though the niqud characters have
Unicode combining attributes. From ticket

"I've examined Times New Roman WT J (what MT30 is aliased to). FWIW, I don't
believe this is really a bug in the font. Some Hebrew fonts give the vowel mark
glyphs negative sidebearings, which causes them to be positioned under the
preceding character even in apps that don't support smart typographic
positioning. Deja Vu presumably does this, which is why it appears to work.
TNRWTJ does not – which TTBOMK is perfectly permissible, it simply means it
relies on the application to position the marks intelligently. OpenOffice
evidently can't do this. OTOH, I tested with a Qt4 application and it does
work."

I have not tried testing this under other operating systems.
