Misrendering of David, Aharoni fonts in Writer

I use Linux Mint 18.1, first with LO 5.1.62, now upgraded to 5.3.2.2 using the
PPA. I also use many fonts which are not part of the distro, including Hebrew
fonts.

Ever since installing I've been seeing an extremely annoying behavior: Some of
these fonts are rendered as _another_ font - as though the app was getting the
index wrong in some font table. Specifically, this happens for some of the
"traditional" Hebrew fonts from MS Windows: David and Aharoni (but not all of
them).

This doesn't happen with "David CLM" and "Aharoni CLM", which are just next to
the fonts I mentioned in the font selection list. It also doesn't happen with
other applications; I'll attach a PDF created in Inkscape to illustrate.

I'll mention I'm not entirely sure which font is actually used, so I can't -
for now - locate those other fonts to report how they "reciprocate".

This does not happen on other systems I use or have used, including with very
recent versions of LO.
