odt file containg hebrew text with niqqud in 2 fonts

Hello

from another application I can copy the word 
בָּדַקְתִּי
into writer and it gets displayed correctly, however when I chose a font such as 
Ubuntu, the niqqud are not displayed nor can I type/write/input them. 

This problem does not appear in 4.0 (OO 3.3 OO 4.0)
I attach the odt and the two pdf files.

Hi,

In fact Ubuntu font doesn't contain any Hebrew letters\niqqud, so what you see is a substitution by DejaVu Sans font. So basically you except that the niqqud will be also shown using DejaVu Sans. But I would say that LibreOffice should not allow choosing a font which doesn't contain Hebrew letters, when the active language is Hebrew.

I can reproduce this problem using 4.1.1.2 under Ubuntu 13.04 (64-bit) & using 4.1.2.3 under Ubuntu 13.10 (64-bit). It's reproducible with every non-Hebrew font. But I can't reproduce using 4.1.2.3 under Fedora 19 (64-bit). So looks like Ubuntu specific bug.
