Very nice work! It looks much better already. The work on ב, כ, ך and ק is
especially noticeable and impressive. The spacing also seems to have improved
greatly.
If you want to try and squeeze it a bit more, I think that ך and maybe ד can
take some more narrowing. The letter ש, as you noted, is still problematic. I
think it should not pose a difficulty, because bold font is very seldom used
with diacritics. Hebrew diacritics are used in dictionaries, poetry, religious
texts and children's literature, but not in titles. Also, in some fonts the
diacritics in the ש are only partially seen (the dot touches the middle
"pillar"), and this is perfectly fine.
Thank you for the good work!
