I am quite sure that GNU Emacs can't do that. It can work when the
application is reading the tables inside a font file that tell the
application to create these ligatures or combinations from the
glyphs. GNU Emacs is not such an application, even if Unicode Emacs
23.0.60 can make use of OT fonts via libotf.

You can also use xfontsel and give it a Hebrew text to display ...
via an X resource, most probably via XTerm*sampleTextUCS. Restricting
the encoding and the spacing you'll have just a few choices.

Convert it to TTF or some PostScript fonts (for the glyph ranges
each) and then integrate them into X11. The xset utility tells you
where it searches for fonts. After putting the fonts into such a path
component you'll need to run mkfontdir and mkfontscale (all with root
privileges) to make X11 see them. A final 'xset fp rehash' will make
them available to all X clients that have been launched afterwards ...
Did you invoke C-h H to see the HELLO file? When you're able to
create a fonts or fontsets list with all your system's fonts as pop-
up menu for GNU Emacs, you can simply walk through all these entries
and see how the HELLO file looks with each ...
