I remember going down this road some time ago, but here is a repeat of 
this. The SIL Hebrew Font System, free download from www.sil.org, 
supports fully accented Hebrew text. I have a copy of the BHS text 
fully accented using this font (but without massorah, footnotes etc), 
but unfortunately that is for restricted distribution. If you can 
obtain the BHS text from CCAT or Oxford Text Archive (in an ASCII 
format, with all the accentuation given) you can use the small 
programs included with the SIL Hebrew Font System to generate your own 
fully pointed Hebrew text. Unfortunately the routines are not simple 
and need to be tweaked to give a clean result. But in principle they 
work.

Greetings,

I'm wondering about the availability of Hebrew Bible software that includes 
accents and other markings of the, preferably, Tiberian school.

I currently use Logos morphologically tagged BHS (which you can almost 
always add a note to any character, which is nice), BibleWorks 4.0, which 
uses the WTM and WTT and the 2.0 version of PCStudy Bible, which has the BHS 
designated as GBH.  None of these have accents or massorah magna or parva. 
Is there software available that has this capacity?  In a related vein, are 
there Hebrew fonts available with accents?
