http://www.iglu.org.il/faq/cache/55.html should give you a start, though
it is a bit messy.
Generally if you use redhat/mandrake (>=6.0) then adding another directory
to the font path of the X fonts server (which supports TTFs as well) is
quite easy:
chkfontpath --add the_fonts_directory
If this directory contains TTFs you should use ttmkfdir to create
fonts.dir
If you have XFree 4 - it should have its own fonts server (actually - two
of them) that supports TTFs. Never tried configuring it, though.
If not - you can install xfstt . From what I heard there were some issues
regarding iso-8859-8 fonts with ity with versions prior to 1.1, but
version 1.1 should have no probelms.
And anyway - you can also install somne other fonts, such as Eli Marmor's
Hebrew Type1 fonts (see the links in the faq page).
