There are a number of simple test documents in example/test/
You can try the following document:
cat <<EOF >hebtest.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english,hebrew]{babel}
\begin{document}
\def\hebtext{\hebalef \hebbet \hebgimel \hebdalet}
\hebtext \textit{\hebtext}
\end{document}
EOF
elatex hebtest.tex
dvips -o hebtest.ps hebtest.dvi
xdvi hebtest.dvi
gv hebtest.ps
It should print 4 Hebrew characters and later the same 4 characters ,
slanted (if the second set of characters appears, but is in a thin,
square font, it means that the old encoding is used).
Both xdvi and gv should display those chars.

I'm not exactly sure that all of thos are necessary. IIRC the copy
without the prefix 'r' is unnecessary.

However I would like the final document to use Type1 fonts, to make the
document show better in Acrobat Reader.
