The above quote is 2 years old and says that text renders properly in a certain
software. There's a little problem with it though: it fails to render final
vowels for some reason. Even final shin-s have no dots for example and thus you
can't tell an "s" from a "sh". This can be missleading
for those trying to learn.

"Imagin having t read something lik this". 

Also, these "niqqudim" (vowels) aren't exactly in position, all of
them are a few pixels off, but this might be a font issue which affects all
fonts more or less...

If opening a new threat would be better please let me know, I just don't
believe in necrobumping.

Try winetricks tahoma. If that fixes it, it's
