Indeed! Though I wondered if you had found this list from a pointer
which I gave (or maybe didn't) on the Unicode list.

Sorry, I didn't read closely enough. SIL's older legacy encoded Hebrew
package includes a transliteration font. At one time one was planned to
go with Ezra SIL but maybe they decided instead to include the necessary
glyphs in a general purpose Latin script Unicode font like Doulos SIL,
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=DoulosSILfont.
I know that some work has been done on conversion programs e.g. TECkit
maps. Maybe someone else on this list can comment on whether anything is
actually available.

I have remembered that the official BHS text in Unicode is available to
all (who can afford $59.95) from Linguist's Software,
http://www.linguistsoftware.com/bhsu.htm.
