Yes, assuming you are using pilot-link 0.12 you should be able to  set
the PILOT_CHARSET environment variable to CP1255.  You'll need to ensure
that the environment variable is set for the running 'gpilotd' process,
so either kill and restart gpilotd from a terminal window where you've
set PILOT_CHARSET, or else set the environment variable in your desktop
startup scripts and restart your desktop session.
