Comment 19 for bug 107261

Problem is not specific to Sun hardware, nor to Solaris per se; I'm getting
exactly the same thing here on Mandrake 9.2 on x86. All nikkud pointings in
rtl text display to the left of their consonants. This includes not just
vowels but also other marks, such as dagesh and accent marks. I am not
sufficiently empowered to change the hardware field from Sun to All, but I
can confirm the issue on Linux/x86, with Firefox 0.9.3.

See also this Wikipedia article, which can serve as a testcase and also
has notes on where the marks should be positioned:
