Yes, but David has kde2, which does not have kikbd. Please refer to
http://www.iglu.org.il/faq/cache/86.html for something that works
(although not entirely straight-forward)
Also refer to the archives of this list, as this topic has been discussed
here recently.
And, of course, take care to avoid problems with the locale:

what do you mean?
what about:
xlsfonts -fn '-*-iso8859-8'
(better pipe that to less or something)
If you don't see any interesting here:
Was the directory added to the font path of the fonts server?
See /etc/X11/fs/config
If that xfs is giving you hard time, try using xfstt instead:
http://www.iglu.org.il/faq/cache/134.html
(I haven't yet managed to write a page about redhat's xfs or XFree4's TTF
support, and anyway: xfstt is small and easy to setup)
