Aaron,
Unfortunately, the nekudot not lining up under the foot of the resh (or
the daled for that matter, which also emulates Rabbi Hillel and stands
on one foot) is a function of how a given font renders the characters.
I cannot seem to find a font that does this the way you want it to.

Have you tried DavkaWriter (see www.davkawriter.com)?
You can do nekudot in Word? Whenever I try to just do Hebrew letters,

used.
If you want to stop hunting and pecking, I would consider using the free

I should qualify the table below by saying that the ALT key used is the
one on the right, not the one on the left.
When your computer is set to the Hebrew IME, turn the
CAPS-LOCK on and
use the following key combinations to produce the following
