Thanks for testing the file. The Arabic text indeed looks perfect, but the Hebrew text doesn't, which is rather strange, because e-readers that support one RTL language well usually also support all other RTL languages.

Maybe this is a font issue, because when I checked the embedded font with Microsoft Font Validator, I got lots of error messages. To exclude font issues I've replaced the embedded Hebrew font with a Google font, Noto Sans Hebrew, and created a new test file. Could you please test it?

IIRC, the reading apps of some of the older models don't support embedded fonts.

I meant models whose model name don't start with "PB," e.g. the PB6xx series.
