You need to use appropriate fonts. Chances are Hebrew text will use
ISO-8859-8 . Make sure you have such fonts on your system (culmus will
do just fine. In the worst case use misc-fixed ).

See /etc/gtk/gtkrc.he* for the default fonts. It might be wise to change
that file.

In order to type Hebrew , your locale's charset needs to be a Hebrew
one. What is the output of 'locale' on your system?

Try running it with 'LC_CTYPE=he_IL' set in the envronment.
