wfm using build 20020927 on Linux, could be MacOS9 specific bug.
Shoshannah, does any OS 9 font installed with the Hebrew Language Kit contains glyphs at U05F3 and U05F4? Reassigning to Internationalization.

how do I check?
What about other Hebrew punctuation? This test case includes five punctuation characters which are defined in Unicode and the windows-1255 encoding, but not in iso-8859-8 or MacHebrew. I would expect similar problems with all of them.
If we add these characters to intl/unicharutil/tools/gentransliterate.pl will the Mac pick them up from there? They all have reasonable ASCII fallbacks.

Fix checked in. ftang and I tested it together on a Mac yesterday, and the fallbacks all work in attachment 101146 [details]. HYPHEN-MINUS for HEBREW MAKAF is not ideal because its vertical position is much lower than the normal makaf, but it's certainly better than a question mark.
