This post was a followup to a previous post (of about 2 days ago) where
someone (I think it was Ira) complained that the hebrew fonts distributed
with Linux messed up the line drawing characters.  I responded saying I
had a similar problem, and solved it by taking the normal 437 font (which
has proper line drawing chars) and manually adding in the hebrew 224-250
letters.  Then there was a request on the list for me to post it, so there
it is.  To unpack it, use a MIME compliant reader (such as Pine), and save
the attachment.  Then use the `setfont' program (in the kbd distribution
in Linux) to load the font, and enjoy the best of both worlds.
