nekudot are misleading

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First, let me just say this is the best siddur I've used on my galaxy s2. It is 
awesome. 

But I did notice that for words where the nekudot would typically include a 
shva + other nekuda (eg. Patach or segol), only the shva is there. That is 
misleading for people who depend on the text for each word.

Is there a plan to adjust?

Thank you for the bug report.  I don't see the same issue.  As an example, when 
I open Ma'ariv, and I see the correct chataf patach on the word "asher".  To 
help debug, can you give a specific word where you see the problem?  Also, what 
font are you using?

If the chataf- vowels are being displayed incorrectly, it's a problem I'd love 
to fix.

Thanks for the reply. I notice it with FreeSerifBold. three words after
"asher" is "aravim" and that presents as just a shva and not a chataf
patach. When i change fonts it shows up. but I can't stand the other fonts.
Weird behavior. But now when i look close it is quite possible that it only
appears to be missing but is really overlapping the bottom of the ayin and
is not really missing.

Thanks for the quick response. Is it possible you can provide a nusach
sefard version just as quickly? :)

Unfortunately, you are correct that the chataf-patach is there, but is being 
obscured by the bottom of the ayin.  You can see that better using FreeSans.  I 
agree with FreeSerifBold being the most appealing of the fonts (which is why it 
is the default).

Nusach Sefard: I will be very happy to work on this, given the text of the 
siddur nusach sefard.  That has not yet happened but I am hopeful that it will 
sooner or later.  See issue 9:
