The SBL Hebrew font gives beautiful text on Windows systems, but doesn't render very well on Mac OS X systems. Could anyone recommend a Unicode 5.1 - compatible biblical Hebrew font for Mac OS X systems?

The old and unsupported Cardo font lacks the holam haser for vav character that is now in Unicode 5.1 and which will shortly be included in the Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex.
