Issue description

Some context: Niqqud is a system of signs used to represent how to pronounce Hebrew letters. those signs are written above, below or inside the letter, depending on the sign. Here is a good example (the niqqud is in red):

So ignoring the fact that Godot displays RTL text as LTR, which I know is going to be fixed in Godot 4, it also displays niqqud as if they are separate characters. For example, I used the font Alef to write this text in Godot:

Which is incorrect, here is an example of what I'm expecting to get:

I didn't find anything talking about niqqud when I looked up the Godot 4 update, so I wasn't sure if it's going to be fixed or not

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new project
2. Download an Hebrew font and add it to the project. The reproduction project I added already has 2 fonts you can try
3. Create a new DynamicFont with the font you downloaded
4. Try to write Hebrew text with niqqud. Here is an example you can copy of the text I wrote:

This may be a limitation that can't be lifted without breaking compatibility: #54625

Try 4.0.beta1 and see if it works 🙂
