It does have the dagesh. The vowel which should be below the lamed is not directly underneath it but misplaced. To be clear, the problem seems to be with how Emacs reads these particular documents. If I type the Hebrew myself directly into Emacs there are no problems with the display. These documents were originally created in other word processors: Word, Nota Bene , and Google Docs. They were converted then to plain text (utf-8) which is the format they are now in: plain text. I am currently trying the latest Emacs from git. I have also installed gir1.2-harfbuzz-0.0. Is that the correct program?
