You have to set $LANG to he_IL, not to he-IL if you want to omit encoding
part - then EncodingManger will look into /usr/share/locale/locale.alias and
figure that he_IL stands for he_IL.ISO8859-8 (and will report that current
encoding is ISO8859-8).
It's wrapper script that needs to be fixed to add he-IL rather than he_IL to
fontpath - that's all.
