All Sword modules use either UTF-8 or Codepage 1252 internally (though you 
can instruct Sword to return only UTF-8 data).  Essentially you just need 
Unicode fonts.

For Greek, there are many fonts that will work; for Hebrew with 
cantillation, there are very few (Ezra SIL probably being the best ATM).  
Code2000 is our catch-all font since it has almost every codepoint 
represented, though many are unattractive.
