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
}
