There is a company that publishes just what you want.  The name of the
software is Multi-lingual scribe.  It handles, greek, hebrew, cyrilic,
and a host of middle east languages.  The company name escapes me at the
moment, but I think it is Gamma production or something similar.  Perhaps
someone else can enlighten you.  The company is somewhere out on the east
coast of the US.  Somewhere, I have a demo.  The company will supply you with a demo version that does not print all characters,
but it is suffecient for examining the program
