Extra Space in HMT-W4?

Recommended Posts

Can anyone confirm whether or not there is supposed to be an extra space between שׂ and ת in the word לעשׂת of Exodus 36:1. I don't see it in Leningrad or print BHS, but there appears to be an extra space in HMT-W4, BHS-T, and ETCBC.893958868_ScreenShot2022-08-10at4_59_03PM.thumb.png.3ce44135f6335dca3ef242fad4cd7962.png

Copying as non-unicode reveals a no-break-space character. However, this no-break-space is not in the source file, so I assume it was programmed in at some point in the past in order to make the holem distinct from the שׂ. See Gen 18:25, 21:28, etc.

This is a limitation with the Accordance font. If you try typing a שׂ followed by holem, you'll find that the two dots overlap. I'll see what else I can find out in terms of a possible solution.

*Knowing that this was a solution to a previous problem…
