Gnomesword does render the Hebrew nicely, but I cannot find an option
to list the names of the books in Hebrew. I suppose that I would have
to install Gnome and set my UI as Hebrew to have Gnomesword render the
book names in Hebrew.

As you mention Arabic, maybe you would know if a Koran is available
for Sword? I looked on this page:
http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModDisp.jsp?modType=Bibles
But they only seem to have Tanack and New Testaments.

Thanks!

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
