Moreover, when it comes to fonts for Biblical Hebrew that place the vowels and cantillation marks well (particularly SBL Hebrew and Ezra SIL), they only work really well on Windows because they are working with Microsoft's Uniscribe library. Even if the Nook or Sony e-Reader supported RTL and one were to embed one of these fonts, the vowels and cantillation marks would be misplaced. |
Not a problem for the font. Just make a font that has letters with the vowels. Then you don't have an issue of not having the vowles.
