Here's a sample of the format:

Ps 1:1
)$RY MAKA/RIOS
H/)Y$ A)NH/R
)$R O(\S
L) OU)K
HLK E)POREU/QH
B/(CT E)N BOULH=|

W/B/MW$B KAI\ E)PI\ KAQE/DRAN
LCYM LOIMW=N

Y$B E)KA/QISEN

The Hebrew and Greek are separated by tabs; within the Greek there are only
spaces. You can deal with this by (1) selecting the text for a verse; (2)
creating a table, separating the rows based on the tab; (3) selecting the
first column and putting it into the Hebrew font; (4) selecting the second
column, converting it to lower case, and putting it into the Greek font. If
you know how to write word processor macros, you can automate it.

I don't know anything at all about Hebrew fonts. The Greek font is *almost*
the same as the SGreek encoding if you convert it to lower case.
