Description of problem:
On a clean Fedora 35 after installing texlive, babel-hebrew, and
tex-fonts-hebrew, I can't use pdflatex to render a Hebrew document.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
texlive               9:2021-48.fc35
texlive-babel-hebrew  9:svn30273.2.3h-48.fc35
tex-fonts-hebrew      0.1-35.fc35

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a new Fedora 35 container: podman run -it fedora:35
2. dnf install texlive texlive-babel-hebrew tex-fonts-hebrew
3. Try to render hello.tex document listed below (this is a basic
   Hebrew document) using pdflatex (pdflatex hello.tex).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,hebrew]{babel}
\begin{document}
שלום!
\end{document}

Actual results:
Blank PDF

Expected results:
PDF with Hebrew text

Additional info:
On Fedora 33 this document caused an error, on Fedora 35 something changed and
the error no longer appears, but the result is a bad document.

--- Comment #1 from Matan Ziv-Av <matan(a)svgalib.org&gt; ---
Culmus fonts were moved from /usr/share/fonts/culmus/ to a single directory for
each font family, such as /usr/share/fonts/clm-aharoni-fonts/.

The spec file for tex-fonts-hebrew package was not updated accordingly, so it
fails to create the tex font file, resulting in empty font files, and thus
blank hebrew letters.

As a workaround, use tex-fonts-hebrew from Fedora 34 or older, which you can
download from here:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/tex-fonts-hebrew/0.1/34.fc34...

--- Comment #3 from Aoife Moloney <amoloney(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on
2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with
a
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

--- Comment #4 from nik <nikita(a)leshenko.net&gt; ---
This bug is still relevant for Fedora 39, we just get a slightly different
error message.
I repeated the steps outlined in the bug report:

1. Start a new Fedora 35 container: podman run -it fedora:39
2. dnf install texlive texlive-babel-hebrew tex-fonts-hebrew
3. Try to render hello.tex document listed above

And this time got a new error:

! LaTeX Error: Unicode character ש (U+05E9)
               not set up for use with LaTeX.

Updating version so this won't get closed.
