The Sword engine needs to run not only on Windows with western/russian charsets, but also on asian versions of Windows, Mac OS X, Linux etc. So the best compromise is to use UTF-8 for everything and let the Sword engine decode it to whatever the local system needs.
Works project and are bwgrkl.ttf and bwhebb.ttf. If I don't apply these fonts,
all the greek and hebrew words would be without accents, etc.
Well, these are _your_ favourite fonts, but other people might have different preferences. We have been discussing font selection mechanisms, and the consensus seems to be to have the user choose the fonts they want for a specific module or even for a specific language. We've had enough trouble with e.g. the Websters module having referenced the font "Code2000" in their config file. Yes, it might be the optimal choice in terms of display, but for those that didn't have the font installed, the display is mangled and they ask sword-support to fix it. Also, some people use Sword on computers where they don't have the liberty to install their own fonts.
Yes, it is (deliberately) hard to enforce your own style on your module. But this makes it easier for more people to use your module in the way _they_ want to use it.
