Jonathan,

You were right about the `script=hebr' specification. Without it, the 
vowel marks as well as the cantillation marks are not posited well. 
Strange thing is though, that the word wrapping is l2r rather than r2l. 
Can this be set right with a further specification?

I will post a small file later today in which some six Hebrew fonts are 
tested with short annotations. The fonts are freely available for (or 
already present with installation of) MacOSX.
