Thanks Drew,
It is disappointing that my current Android device will not display Hebrew as it. There is a way to upgrade Android software but at some point the hardware will no longer be compatible, so we will have to see. Nevertheless, I appreciate the work Logos has put into this issue.
Thanks for that link, Drew. I have seen that thread previously and this was my primary reason for upgrading to Jelly Bean. I was hoping this was the new version in which the diacritics would have been fixed in Android. Oh well. I guess we will have to wait some more. If anyone has a chance to test this in 4.2 let us know the results.
As to how other software achieves seemingly aligned diacritics, this is most likely done by resorting to some non-unicode font. I know Bibleworks still uses a special font on Windows to display their non-english texts. I can only say that this results in a lot of frustration when a student cuts and pastes and wonders why his/her Greek/Hebrew is not displaying as they expect it to. I do think resorting to non-unicode fonts would be a step backward rather than forward, even if it gives the illusion of solving the problem. Far better to get the fonts displaying properly.
