Welcome!
For font and Keyman keyboard, try www.sil.org where there is a Unicode
Hebrew font (Ezra SIL) as well as a legacy encoded font (SIL Ezra).
A Unicode text of BHS has been released but with restricted distribution
for copyright reasons. This is included for example with the recently
released Paratext 6, see http://paratext.ubs-translations.org/. Although
the underlying text is widely available, sadly I don't know of any way
that those who don't qualify for Paratext and similar products can get
this Unicode version.
The Hebrew Bible in Unicode, but not the BHS, is available from
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/ - the versions with cantillation marks are
in Unicode.
