PDF Conversion Misaligns Hebrew Consonants and Vowels

I am having an issue that tends to surface in some of my academic papers. When I convert them to PDF, some of the Hebrew consonants (e.g., יקטל) and the vowels markings above or below the consonants (e.g., יִקְטֹל) become misaligned. The problem is inconsistent. I may place one Hebrew sentence in parentheses near the beginning of the paragraph and its consonants/vowels become misaligned in the PDF version of the paper. Then, the next time I include Hebrew in that same paragraph, the consonants/vowels are not misaligned in the PDF version of the paper. If I print the .odf file or view it on the screen, both of these sentences line up. The problem only occurs when I convert the document to PDF.

Does anyone have any solutions? How could I even begin to troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks, the free PDF software works.

I would, however, like for the PDF conversion feature of OOo to work if possible. Should I report this as a bug for OOo 3.3.0 on Windows 7?
