Fine. So have your script that retrieves data from the DB create a LaTeX
file, and continue as Shaul explained.
If you just want simple text without formatting, this may be overkill.
A simple solution would be to run a2ps on the Hebrew text (make sure you
have a Hebrew PS font), and send the resulting PS file.
An even more low-level solution would be rendering the bitmapped Hebrew
font directly to a G3 bitmap for faxing.

I prefer the LaTeX method, and have actually once implemented such a
faxing system. Don't ask me for source, it was around 5 years ago...
