Somehow regenerating the fonts after the last change to fix vav-yod caused or exposed a bug with the Yiddish digraphs double-vov and double-yud, i.e., two of the so-called Yiddish ligature characters in the main Hebrew block:

Hebrew Ligature Yiddish Double Yod U+05F2 (ײ)
Hebrew Ligature Yiddish Double Vav U+05F0 (װ)

The bottom anchor point for diacritics (nikud) under the character must be horizontally centered with respect to the point at the baseline halfway between the anchor point for each of the subcomponent characters. Currently, in the newly generated fonts, it is placed under the right-most subcomponent character.

Note that this is a regression currently only in this fork from the released version of the font on Google Fonts currently.

See attached image file. It shows the following text (Hebrew script) in Heebo Medium, using Adobe InDesign to render:
