What fonts are you using?
I have kde3.1 (uses fonts from Xft2), mozilla 1.2.1 (and galeon that uses
the same gecko) and mozilla-snapshot that seems to be of a later version
with Xft support but slightly buggy.
With KDE I had to change the Hebrew font to something other than David or
Aharoni to allow me to view the nikkud. FrankRuhel and Nahlieli shows them
fine. That is: except the Dagesh that is rendered as a separate char, and
not as a zero-width nikud.
Both the mozillas don't seem to support zero-width nikud chars, at least
with all the fonts I have installed: the culmus fonts and {misc|etl}-fixed
on mozilla 1.2.1 and all of those fonts in addition to ClearlyU with the
mozilla-snapshot. The snapshot had some horrible problems using NAhlieli
to display the page: there were some wierd spaces all over.
