Or I don't understand it, or you aare wrong. You surely *can* use hebrew
from windows TTF fonts. Just use 

/usr/X11/bin/xfstt --encoding koi8-r,iso8859-1,iso8859-8,windows-1251 

and you get two encodings of russian and hebrew from every windows Unicode
(or stripped Unicode - without Chinese, etc.) font. 

Also, why Hebrew is "two-byte charset"? I alsways thought that hebrew
charset in not different from any other in this regard...
