[Lexicog] Unicode rendering under Linux

[William J Poser]

In my previous example, the Devanagari, Tamil, Gurmukhi and IPA all
show the rendering of "diacritics" in the sense that the first
three all have vowel markers which are encoded as separate Unicode
codepoints but must be rendered in combination with the preceding
consonant, while the IPA has the combining superscript w.
Anyhow, here are examples of pointed Hebrew. (Its the first verse of
the Torah for those who can't read it.) I  increased the
OpenOffice example from 12 point to 16 point so that it would
show up better in the screen shot, which may have messed it up
a little. I think it looked better on the screen at 12 point.

I'm afraid that my knowledge of Arabic and Syriac is rather
poor so if anyone wants to know what they look like it would
be best if they could send me some Unicode text to render or point
me at something on the net rather than having me try to make up
an example.
