I downloaded culmus fonts. It seems "David CLM" font is quite good. And, while testing with that font, I found a bug in the current Emacs code. I'll fix it soon. Please wait for a while. > I'll try to approach Dejavu designers as well. Thank you. Another problem I found with Dejavu Sans is that that lookup tables implementing "mark" feature for hebrew don't have proper LookupFlag to ignore previous combining marks (GDEF class 3). I think that's why it can't compose two or more diacricals correctly. --- Kenichi Handa handa@m17n.org
