What hebrew exactly? You probably refer to some sort of ISO-8859-8-encoded
hebrew (with or without -i, , or windows-1255, which is almost the same).
Any particular reason you don't use gvim?
gvim -fn heb8x13
Alternatively:
rxvt -fn heb8x13 -e vim
or whatever...
If you don't insist on konsole , and stick with a simpler terminal
emulation, then you generally won't have much problems. konsole works with
unicode innternally, and therefore you not only have to get the font
right, but also the input encoding.
BTW: xterm, when run with -u8, also works with unicode internally.
However, if you use the i18n patch (this is the default with Mandrake 8.1,
and the cause for the frequent crashes of xterm there...) you can use the
option -l and then you will work with your original 8bit encoding.

What do you consider as Hebrew support?
Curren hebrew html editing features of vim:
* html syntax hilighting [big deal...]
* support for editing visual hebrew text [just in case you still need it]
* internal hebrew keymapping [This on is almost a must when you work with
vim: sure you can use X's keyboard mapping, but then you always have to
switch to english to type commands]
* sort-of logical hebrew support: you can reverse the whole display
However, just about any text editor would do. You can always use X11's
keymapping (or the console's keymapping, or whatever) And any decent X11
editor allows you to setup its font.
Try running any QT2-based program under biditext. Is there any QT-based
HTML editor that does not use KDE's configuration for input encoding?
