I'm not sure what you mean by 'I should get the circle with the dot to the left at about 11 o-clock. Instead what happens is that I first get the dot by itself and when I press the key again, I get the circle with the dot that I want'. All I see in both cases is the Hebrew character followed by the end-of-cell marker. I don't have the SBL font installed, so some characters display as ? in a box. I changed to Times New Roman to resolve that. Even so, there are no circles. If some interaction is occurring between the holem and the end-of-cell marker, you could obviate that by inserting a space before the the end-of-cell marker - before inserting the Hebrew characters.

FWIW, I've never needed the SBL font for Hebrew. See attached.
