I'm not sure but afaik hebrew is right-to-left and top-to-bottom.
So every verse would be rtl. That should be easy.

Could you find out about it?

The tisch module uses a very limited set of characters, that's why it will 
display correctly (maybe even with symbol). Try the N27U4 modulke instead. 
This is the current greek bible text and uses many different accent and 
aspirata(?) signs. You will notice that it does not work - you'll see boxes 
and similar stuff.

The type1 milan greek font works for me, but not the ttf one.
Maybe a configuration problem? It seems to work in biblecs with bstgreek or 
even symbol (windows version??).

Hebrew display with bsthebrew looks good to me (except the direction), but I 
can't tell if it's correct.
