Thanks, I do see some "rMissingCodes" lines in the failure output. I 
cannot understand it all, but a simple comparison of 
NotoSansHebrew-Regular font provided by Fedora and the font downloaded 
from LO extra sources shows that Fedora font is missing a lot of glyphs.

I'll try to ask why to the Fedora maintainer of the font.
