Scroll through the fonts until you find Arial. Just arial, not one of the variations. Click Arial, then restart e-sword. You should no longer have a problem with fonts.

WCUTRER, The different file modules provided to members on the <http://www.biblesupport.com> web site are all designed to be viewed through the "e-Sword" program, because all the modules are integrated to work on a database file structure, where the KJV of the Bible is first loaded, then the associated Commentary, Dictionary, or Lexicon modules that support that version of the Bible, where the books of the Bible are provided in a specific order, with each book having the content divided into numbered chapters, and the sentences of the chapters divided into numbered verses. The Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible enables you to view words in dictionary order, which have letter characters written in Ancient Hebrew characters, with the accompanying explanation written in the English language. The Ancient Hebrew Lexicon needs the special associated fonts to have been provided and installed on your device, also. You will need to have loaded these other Bibles to your computer from the designer's website www.e-sword.net before expecting the different files that you can download from Bible Support to be able to display on your PC or laptop running Windows 11, or on an Apple or Android device.These contents are not provided in a flat word text format, nor in PDF format, but have been designed to work to a database format. The current database (designed in the year 2000 with constant updates to the year 2026) runs in 32-bit format. If the 64-bit operating system of your PC has deprecated essential components of the 32-bit modules, then these programs will not run on your device. Please notice the details of the name of the website, at the top of the screen. 
The different file extensions of files do NOT need to all be loaded onto the same version of e-Sword, but have been made to download as required, to cater for Bible Study running with either e-Sword for Windows, or using e-Sword for the Apple Mac, e-Sword HD for Apple iPad and tablets, e-Sword LT for Apple iPhone, or using e-Sword for Android devices. 

Please make sure that when you download the dictionary file, (one of the .dcti or .dctx files), that you also download the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon Font files. The fonts need to be unzipped, and then the seven contents installed into your device.
