Probable rather than possible methinks ;) I don't think there is an
implementation of uniscribe for wine apart from a stub. So it doesn't
do any of the complex stuff like ligation.
http://source.winehq.org/source/dlls/usp10/usp10.c

However if you copy usp10.dll from windows (N.B. you probably aren't
supposed to do that and ianal) and put it in the same dir as the app
then BibleCS/whatever should use it. Or maybe you have to tell wine to
use that one, I can't remember.
