Typographic conventions may vary slightly between biblical and modern Hebrew. When they occur, they need to be correctly positioned relative to the base character. In Hebrew, most diacritic marks are optional in most circumstances, and are omitted in most text. A character may have multiple forms of glyphs.Дiacritic Mark (Nikud) - A combining mark character that is applied to a base character to provide pronunciation guidance.

In addition to being a primer and specification for the creation and support of Hebrew fonts, this document is intended to more broadly illustrate the OpenType Layout architecture, feature schemes, and operating system support for shaping and positioning text.

This document also presents information about the Hebrew OpenType shaping engine of Uniscribe, the Windows component responsible for text layout. Registered features of the Hebrew script are defined and illustrated, encodings are listed, and templates are included for compiling Hebrew layout tables for OpenType fonts.

In this specification, font developers will learn how to encode complex script features in their fonts, choose character sets, organize font information, and use existing tools to produce Hebrew fonts.
