BibleWorks and Logos both use their own TrueType fonts. The next version of
Logos will be shifting to Unicode, but I don't know what their plans are for
the moment considering the holes in Unicode Hebrew support.

There is a mailing list that discusses font issues in regard to biblical
languages. See

There will soon be a web site: www.biblical-languages.org
but it looks like they still don't have the site up yet. But they did get
Apache installed the other day, so perhaps there will be some content there
soon.
