However, I have moved (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font-backend xfthb)) to the front of my .emacs and this appears to have resolved the problem. I no longer see circles and the Hebrew font is properly displayed. Thank you very much Eli for your help with this. I am going to test it today further just to make sure but so far however, all seems well. With much appreciation.
