    Converting Hebrew Font to UTF-8

    I have a text file containing the bible in Hebrew, with markups. However, it is rendered in a proprietary font, which I would like to get away from having to use. The font that it is intended to be viewed in is called 'bwhebb' (BibleWorks Hebrew B). In any 'normal' font, the text looks like this: '~h'r'b.a;-!B, dwID'-!B, x;yviM'h; [;WvyE tdol.AT rp,se Mat 1:1'.
    What I would like to do, is convert this to the utf-8 standard. Does anyone know if it is possible to convert this to utf-8 while preserving the marking, and do you know how?

    Thnx.

    I think it's possible. If you can send me a link to download the entire file I can look at converting it for you. No promises though.

    A generous offer, thank you. What about e-mail? The file is about 5.5megs, so that should work. If not, I will see if there's a file dump site that I can use.

    There is one you can use here http://bibleforums.org/showthread.php/1878 (near the bottom) - just be sure the file is in text format and not some proprietary format like doc or PDF or mdb etc. Zipping it would probably make it smaller too.

    Ok, I sent an e-mail to that address. It's a zipped .rtf file. Let me know if you were able to get it okay.
