In-Reply-To: <83ef3y93hw.fsf@gnu.org>
I have libm17n-0 and libm17n-dev installed.
I changed to dejavu-sans-mono. (No change to the Hebrew font display.)
Below follows the information you asked for:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

#xfb3c)
charset: unicode-bmp (Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane
(U+0000..U+FFFF))
code point in charset: 0xFB3C
script: hebrew
syntax: w which means: word
category: .:Base, R:Right-to-left (strong)
to input: type "C-x 8 RET fb3c" or "C-x 8 RET HEBREW
LETTER LAMED WITH DAGESH"
buffer code: #xEF #xAC #xBC
file code: #xEF #xAC #xBC (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
xft:-unknown-DejaVu
