can anybody tell me how to implement a patach furtivum? I copied a short passage from a Bible software supporting unicode but the "furtivum feature" got lost. The last patach is supposed to be shifted between chet and yod. I found no information about typing it in the documentation of my keyboard driver (Ezra SIL Unicode for SCIM/KMFL, Ubuntu Karmic).
There is no separate Unicode furtive patah character. It will shift if the font supports it, if not, it doesn't. The same test file using Ezra SIL instead of SBL Hebrew does show the patah shifted.
If you put the same words into Openoffice.org, the patah displays shifted in both SBL Hebrew and Ezra SIL, but not Ezra SIL SR (a font that doesn't support the feature). Openoffice.org displays the correct behavior in all cases. XeTeX is interpreting something about SBL Hebrew differently.
