Within the last week or so a beta version of the font SBL Hebrew has been released. This is the best Unicode font I have seen for biblical Hebrew, at least in terms of proper positioning of accents etc. See http://www.sbl-site.org/Resources/default.aspx - warning: "click here" goes straight to a download of more than 2 MB.

The font is intended for Windows 2000 and XP, but should work on Windows 98 and ME, and perhaps other OSs, with the same limitations as for other Unicode Hebrew fonts e.g. Ezra SIL.
