Does not display Hebrew vowels and cantillation marks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Display the attached Hebrew GoBible module in a Nokia 6600 cell phone.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I had expected to see the Hebrew vowels and cantillation marks, but instead
see the Hebrew consonants only.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

It runs on a Nokia 6600.

Please provide any additional information below.

Attached I provide the Hebrew GoBible module, and the original Hebrew USFM
code to produce the module from.

Dear Teus,

This may be a Nokia firmware problem with the way this phone model handles 
Hebrew
vowels and cantillation marks in Unicode. Further research is needed.

Do you have any other applications installed in the 6600 which can display them?
Have you tried the same Go Bible application on any other "up-market" phones?
Have you tried the application using a Java ME emulator on a Windows PC?

cf.  My own phone is even less "up-market", the K750i can display most Hebrew
consonants, but there are still some black rectangles.

Best regards,
David

Dear Teus,

I just tried opening the JAR file using the mpowerplayer emulator for Java ME
games/apps.  The attached file shows what is displayed.

Does this look substantially correct?

If so, it is not a Go Bible software bug, it's a Nokia issue.

NB. Even if only the Hebrew vowels yet not the cantillations are displayed by
mpowerplayer, this may merely point to an unsupported feature of this particular
emulator.

David
