Converting a SWORD module is not recommended. You can download the
original source files from here<br>

What you are seeing is an encoding mismatch, probably trying to
display UTF-8 as ANSI. If you change the encoding in your text
editor, it should show up fine.<br>

As for a font, I would recommend SBL Hebrew:<br>
