    I've posted an image at http://www.zigzagworld.com/holams.gif of two words
    that illustrate one publisher's typographic distinction between vav with
    kholam khaser and kholam male. The top image (kholam male) is the third word
    of Exodus 12:15. The bottom (vav-kholam khaser) is the ninth word of Numbers
    15:40 (seventh word for those who don't count maqaf as a word break). The
    images were scanned from The Tanach, Stone Edition, Mesorah Publications,
    New York, 1996. The book includes the credit "Typography by CompuScribe at
    ArtScroll Studios, Ltd."
