My sister uses the font 
'-etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-240-72-72-c-120-iso8859-8' from the 
Debian package xfonts-intl-european happily. I personally don't like 
it very much, but it's usable.

That's also the case with all other proportional X fonts, but
I do not really know why. I'd love to hear an expert's opinion.
