Hello!
Have you notice that�when using Microsoft's standard core fonts, for an example, to 
type/display/print Hebrew�extra space gets added onto the *kholam* (high left dot) 
vowel point that really shouldn't be there?!?!  Whenever a *kholam* is put to a 
letter's left (instead of atop a *waw* for a vowel), unwanted extra space gets 
inbetween the *kholam* and the preceeding/following letter(s).  Has anyone contacted 
Microsoft about that?!
There shouldn't be any extra space on *kholam*�it should hug the left side of the 
letter it goes with�any following letters should be up close on the opposite side of 
that.
The *shuruq* point (a dot inside the bosom of *waw* should rise up towards the head, 
but still be inside *waw*�immediately just under its head.  *Shuruq* is another Hebrew 
presentation form that represents a vowel that's an independent whole character (which 
hasn't yet been proposed), like *kholam maleh* (that's allready in Unicode).  I hope 
I've informed you on this situation.
Thank You!
