Issue

Depending on the previous letter, a holam can can cause problems for the following shin. For example, a lamed with a holam followed by a shin can make the shin appear to have a shin dot. Even worse if the shin has actually has a shin dot as the holam will halfway overlap the shin dot.

I've found issues with lamad and yod so far. I'll update this issue if I find other issues with other letters.

I retested all of these with the new Sans font: image

Looks like this issue is mostly fixed for the Sans version. The only ones I can see possibly being problematic are לֹשׁ and maybe רֹשׁ. image image

The issue still exists for Serif and Rashi though.

Definitely problematic in heavier weights: image
