Sure, After you install msttcorefonts package, you can do a simple thing (I'm using KDE on Fedora 11, I don't know how to do this with GNOME):
1. Launch kfontview 2. select "Open" 3. go to /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/ 4. select arial.ttf for example 5. select to change the text and type something in Hebrew 6. The text will be reversed, but you'll be able clearly to see if the font has Hebrew support. I just tried it on "Arial" and Hebrew looks great.
