I wasn't aware that the problem disappears if you type Hebrew, and
appears only with these documents. If so, can you send one such
document as an attachment?
Am I to understand that if you type the same exact text into Emacs,
there's no problem with the display? If so, the reason must be in the
documents themselves: something in how the text is laid out there
causes this. Being able to look at such a document is therefore
important for investigating this issue.

Emacs needs HarfBuzz the library, not the program. What does the
following produce inside the latest Emacs you built from Git:
M-: (frame-parameter nil 'font-backend) RET
