I'm not at HU anymore. I did my MA there, but I'm back in Wisconsin now (brr). I have tried both of the fonts you mention. My preferred font for Hebrew is Taamey Frank from the Culmus project http://culmus.sourceforge.net/taamim/index.html, and it seems to render the holems and the vavs quite well,

A lot depends on the Unicode font chosen to display pointed Hebrew. Even Ezra SIL and SBL Hebrew have some issues for a few codepoint combinations. But at the HU of J you would have access to the best Hebrew fonts available. Best regards, David -- View this message in context: http://sword-

Oh! I had recalled that there were some problems at times with the way vavs and holems were display next to each other because of the discrepancy between how holem vav is represented in Unicode vs betacode (the format used in the initial creation of the Michigan-Claremont text) but looking back

I don't have access to a GUI machine with Cent installed at the moment. I haven't noticed an issue with the GTK3 build of Xiphos, but I only do a very cursory check of the builds. There are both xiphos-gtk2 and xiphos-gtk3 builds in EPEL7 at the moment, and you should be able to install them side-
