The Windows 7 console does not even support displaying the Hebrew

lets you pick are lacking the required characters.

Yes, it does not support Unicode. That's why I said "1255", as in
"Windows 1255", the ANSI encoding for Hebrew.<br>

The first line was ok but the second one was either question marks or

It should let you pick any monospace font. At least one of those
should contain a Hebrew encoding. If not, you might need to set
the default locale to Hebrew in order to test this (which will
only be possible after clicking "add support for complex text
layout languages", or something to similar effect, in Regional
Settings). This will also install the Hebrew fonts.</p>
