Hebrew Letters showing up in squares in a Hebrew font in Chrome on Mac OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite)

I have Chrome 44.0.2403.130 running on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite)and the Hebrew letters show up in squares.

My encoding is UTF-8.

I uninstalled Google Chrome (using app-cleaner) and reinstalled.

I changed the advanced font settings to all Arial and set them back to their default.

Solution 1:

Try going to the address bar and type chrome://flags/#disable-direct-write and enable the flag (effectively disabling DirectWrite).

Restart the browser after the change for the flag to take effect.
