Greetings,
I have not used it yet but take a look at www.slangsoft.com and look over their
LingoGUI product. It is free for development and non-commercial work (check the
license to be sure, don't take my word for it) and is very impressive. The SBL
is interested in developing thin-editors for its members to use online and I do
know that Slangsoft is the leading candidate to make it possible for our members
to use Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, etc. in an online environment.
They have a number of other products available so you should look around the
site generally. Slangsoft also offers a service of converting TTF fonts into
Java classes.
Hope this helps!
Patrick.
