Bug: Hebrew text display

When I openned BHS or any other text containing Hebrew characters, the text is not displayed correctly. In BHS, some of the characters run together so it is impossible to see the text. On others, such as BDB, the characters are clearly displayed left to right instead of right to left.

My config: HTC Desire running Android 2.2

    I note three problems with the Hebrew display in BHS, two of which
    are noted by the OP.

    1) The characters overlap and run together.

    2) All the words are backwards. The text is right justified, with
    the verse indicator on the right, but all the words are spelled left to right.
    For example, in Genesis 1:1 displays

    אָרּבָ

    instead of

    בָּרָא

    The word order is correct, but the letter order is backward.

    3) Parts of the text are not visible. Parts of words continue past
    the right margin and off of the screen. In Genesis 1:1 part of the words
    bereshith and elohim are missing. The initial words after a given line-break
    are either partially off the screen or completely overlapped with the following
    word.

    I have been able to install Logos onto my HTC Evo 4G running And 2.3 The Hebrew fonts (opened from BHS) do not display properly. Fonts are bunched together making them unable to read and vowel pointings are not in proper place.

    I have the same problem on my I-Pad.  Everince the Apple download ios 7 the some Hebrew characters are over lapped

    or are separated when they should be adjacent to one another.
