Perfect?? For me, it couldn't look worse. I see no Hebrew letters or
niqqud, just squares... I'm using Konqueror on Redhat 8.0 (kdebase-2.2.2-1).
Maybe a later release of Konqueror fixed this issue?

In Linux Mozilla, the niqqud appears to the side, rather than below, the
letters. I believe this is a Mozilla problem, not a font problem, as I
don't believe current X fonts even have the capability to define the correct
positioning of Niqud (please correct me if I'm wrong).

The niqqud-on-the-side happens in my Mozilla (1.0.1) with either pages
that were linked (with or without the English translation).

I get exactly the same problems in Arabic, so it's not a Hebrew-specific
issue.
