Logan snarls as his head is flung back from the strong force of the blow, his helmet is slashed and a gash appears on his cheek, he stumbles and snarls raising his shield arm clutching his face "Nyyah!" he yells in pain, snarling he lunges at N'kyata blindly attacking with no skill at all.
The Nikuds cross their arms, eyes widening at the beast the uruk rides, fighting to look away.
Logan opesn his eyes slightly as 2 healers, or nikuds, hes not sure pick him up and carry him away towards a yurt, he smiles to himself and thinks about how good it will be to wear a nice warm warg coat.

With Word, the worst examples of the placement of nikud are with the letter caf-sofit where the long descender is on top of the pronunciation marks qamats and the sheva.
Religeous texts with nikud and cantillation may be a poor application of my fonts design as "square" fonts are the most legible.
With regard to nikud, here is an idea for you: keep the forms of bet, kaf, etc. that went below the baseline, but also include the shorter versions.

 Book Review--The Bible Code: Fact or Fake?
(2) That Moses wrote the Torah complete with vowelization marks (nikud), and codes researchers left out the vowels in the Hebrew; therefore, the Bible code cannot be true.
We have absolute proof that the nikud system was created by the masoretes in Tiberias from the 5th to 11th centuries AD, when the system was added to the Hebrew Bible texts.
Therefore, we know from the evidence, that before the 600-800 AD timeframe, there was no fully developed nikud system.

 March 18, 2004: Hebrew nikud display problem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
However, there is one problem (so far): Hebrew characters with nikud (punctuation marks) display as gibberish, e.g., bullets, other symbols, and sometimes even lowercase Roman characters.
The rest of the file (English text, formatting, etc.) displays fine and even the Hebrew characters which have no nikud applied also display correctly.
It seems that the program is not handling the "control keyÂ?characterÂ?punctuation mark" sequence correctly and when it attempts to merge them into one, something odd occurs.
