I've generated biblical Hebrew text with the SBL Hebrew font from Open Office on Windows 2000 and exported it in both PDF (Thanks, Karl) and ODF formats to Mac OS X 10.5.1. Neither format has satisfactory rendering on Mac OS X.

The result is comparable to Firefox 3.0b2's HTML rendering.

To get high quality rendering of biblical Hebrew text on Mac OS X 10.5.1, simply buy VMware Fusion ($100) and the Microsoft operating system of your choice ($200++), and operate virtually!
