Kerning of the letter צ

[JNord03]

In Noto Rashi Hebrew (all weights, all versions), the counter of the צ creates too much visual space when followed by any round letter such as ד, ר, כ etc. There should be either a contextual alternative with a narrower צ or one with a more closed counter, the descender ending on the baseline (like in the more conventional Rashi fonts), or some negative kerning/ligature to avoid this visual gap.

I'm using an application that supports kerning by default, turning it on explicitly doesn't do anything (LibreOffice 7.5.3.2).

What I have in my current sources is that there is a negative left side bearing on the tsadi in light and bold, but not in regular:

Light:

Bold:

Regular:

I think this is probably messing up the instances. I'll add a negative LSB to the regular, and that should deal with it.
