Thank you. This looks fine in Yudit (which is not surprising because I
think Yudit was designed primarily for Hebrew). But in OpenOffice most
but not all of the marks below the base characters are offset to the
left from where they should be. Nevertheless, I'm surprised you got such
good results from Code2000.

For comparison, see the attached which is the same verse in Code2000 as
rendered by Windows XP.
