The work around in that case was that a user could choose to have the mark positioned between two letters, instead of the default positioning over the preceding letter, by inserting a ZWNJ control character before the mark.* I'm doubtful that would work in a more complex script in which ZWNJ might have a defined shaping role. *See page 15 of the SBL Hebrew user manual: http://www.sbl-site.org/Fonts/SBLHebrewUserManual1.5x.pdf JHReceived on Thursday, 2 December 2010 04:20:50 UTC
