On the other OSes, combining characters draw correctly (or close to correctly) positioned. On the other OSes, the fonts which have Hebrew characters (like Miriam Fixed) can be used to display Hebrew, whereas I still can't do that on the Mac.
Perhaps have a "guifont2" option, which is the fallback font? I don't know if that would work, perhaps there is an option yet to be set in the font creation or something? I do know that e.g. OpenOffice has problems getting the positioning correct, while XeLaTex doesn't (because it really uses the font information, so if a font is properly coded it looks good).
