Hebrew and digits don't render ("Failed to get emoji face")

[mattansb]

I found a problem when mixing Hebrew text with numbers - it causes the text to not appear. This does not affect other text in the figure.

Here are some oddities:

• The problem "disappears" when running the code through reprex::reprex() (on the same machine).
• saving the image with ggsave() as a .png also has the missing text (as below).
• saving the image with ggsave() as a .pdf has the text, but all of the Hebrew letters (regardless of mixing with numerals) are replaced with .s, which I suspect is a "standard" encoding problem.

Here is the code to reproduce the bug:

library(ggplot2)
#> Warning: package 'ggplot2' was built under R version 4.3.3

df <- data.frame(
  x = 1:3,
  y = 0,
  label = c("זה טקסט", 
            "this is text with number 1",
            "זה טקסט עם מספר 2")
)

ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) + 
  geom_label(aes(label = label))
#> Failed to get emoji face:  ���, 0
