I'm looking at the default XftConfig of Mandrake 8.1 and I see:

# don't yet exist, but i hope to include some day a package for them (Pablo)
dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/cyrillic"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/viet"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/ethiopic"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/georgian"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/arabic"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/hebrew"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/unicode"


so if you have Mandrake and you add a seperate TTFs directory (not using
FontDrake) then the name "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/hebrew" or
"/usr/share/fonts/ttf/unicode" is recomended. Alternatively, make one of
those a symlink to one of the places to which you installed the files.

What exactly do you mean? Any relevant FM?
