[XeTeX] patach furtivum in biblical hebrew

[Karljurgen Feuerherm]

Hi Carsten,

Try The Ezra SIL SR font for the cheth and pathach. I believe will
position the pathach correctly. (Meaning, I've done that in MS Word but
haven't tried it in *TeX (yet). Still in process of getting up and
running on my new machine....

Best
