I recently converted the OSMHB crosswire.org module to OSIS XML format. I would like to know what font should be used to display the text in Hebrew?

Converting a SWORD module is not recommended. You can download the original source files from here
https://github.com/openscriptures/morphhb/tree/master/wlc

Currently the XML file is full of text such as this:

<w lemma="strong:H7225">×'ְּרֵ×?ש×?Ö´Ö--×^(TM)ת</w>

What you are seeing is an encoding mismatch, probably trying to display UTF-8 as ANSI. If you change the encoding in your text editor, it should show up fine.

Can someone provide details on how to interpret and/or render the characters to Hebrew?

As for a font, I would recommend SBL Hebrew:

Peace,

David

Thank you.

Philip
