Hebrew text selection seems imprecise

I am not a hebrew speaker.  However, looking at selecting individual characters
on that page, the selection rect commonly starts/stops in the middle of glyphs
(instead of between glyphs, as I would expect).  This is possibly float
rounding issues?  Not sure.  Mitz would know.  Our selection is certainly
better than Firefox on windows, as FF2 seems to not even always select the
vowel markers(?) below the glyphs.  We seem to have the correct selection
height (and maybe even width), just incorrect start/stop points for the
selection rect.

I have not compared selection with the Mac.  It's possible this is
platform-only.
