In your "broken" example, the patah below the het is being moved to the right rather than staying under the middle of the het? But the shift to the right is the correct behavior for furtive patah and should be expected. On Wed, Aug 31, 2022 at 8:06 PM Denis Maier via ntg-context < ntg-context@ntg.nl> wrote:

Hi,

I’m running into something weird with Hebrew punctuation. Consider the example below. SBL Hebrew gives me incorrect results when there’s a vaw with a holam = וֹ just before a chet with a patach = חַ => the patach below the chet ist misplaced.

If I remove the holam from the vaw, everything looks ok. Oddly, in Linux Libertine I get the correct results in both cases. Does anyone know what the problem is here? User error? A bug in SBL Hebrew (which would be very odd since that font should be designed specifically for that kind of stuff). A missing seeting?

Best,

Denis

\definefontfamily[notok][rm][SBL Hebrew][features=hebrew]

\definefontfamily[ok][rm][Linux Libertine O][features=hebrew]

\setupdirections[bidi=global,method=unicode]

\starttext

Ok:

{\switchtobodyfont[notok]

חִיוּחוחַ

}

Broken:

{\switchtobodyfont[notok]

חִיוּחוֹחַ

}

Linux Libertine works in both cases:

Ok:

{\switchtobodyfont[ok]

חִיוּחוחַ

}

Ok:

{\switchtobodyfont[ok]

חִיוּחוֹחַ

}

\stoptext
