I find that hard to believe. On my machine DejaVu Sans Mono does not
have Hebrew coverage. Pressing C-u C-x = on Hebrew text reveals that
Emacs substitutes DejaVu Sans, which does cover Hebrew and looks ok in
bold, but is not monospaced. Depending on your configuration, another
font may be substituted, possibly one that does not have a bold
weight.
