mreimer, thanks for your suggestion. I now have five supposedly OpenType 
fonts, Ezra SIL, three from the society of Biblical literature (SPDamascus, 
SPTimerian and SPEzra) and Lucida Sans Unicode. Genesis.sxw is displayed 
properly, because it uses the best of these fonts: Ezra SIL. the three SBL 
fonts show the problem I described, of having beautiful nikud, but under the 
wrong letter. The Culmus fonts are not [yet, hopefully soon will be] OpenType, 
and neither are the ms-webfonts. Lucida Sans Unicode works, as is well known, 
but doesn't work well, as the dagesh is too far to the left. 
 
Interestingly, yesterday evening, I couldn't get Ezra to work, even after 
numerous `xset fp rehash` and numerous restarts of OOo. Today, not having 
rebooted, I started OOo again, to display Genesis.sxw, and the whole thing 
works, even in other documents. 
 
In conclusion, it is indeed the fonts that are broken, not OOo, although it 
would be nice if (a) Culmus becomes OpenType, and (b) OOo gets a better 
heuristic algorithm to correctly deal with non-OpenType fonts. 
 
While bemoaning the lack of OpenType fonts, I will say that better two working 
fonts than none. 
 
Thanks to you all!
