Hi Brenten

I have finished building your Latvian Bible, and it seems it works fine in e-Sword 10.

Please, tell me what do you think the title, abbreviation and description should be. I think the title could be something like:
Latviešu Bībeles 1965 / Latvian Bible 1965

The comments should include the complete title, date, publisher, copyright, web source and any other useful information. And we need to choose an abbreviation like "Latvian" or "LB1965" or whatever is best.

On the other hand, it's important to know the copyright status of this translation. Please, could you contact the publisher and ask for permission to distribute it or at least for your personal use? The publisher is the Latvian Bible Society, and their email is lbb@apollo.lv

Regards,

Carlos

Hi

To anyone interested in the Latvian Bible module, I need the help of someone who has a printed edition of this bible.

Verse numbers in this version differ in many passages from the e-Sword standard, so I've had to fix those, leaving the original numbering colored gray and between parentheses. I have doubts, however, in three passages:

- One verse is missing at the end of Exodus 1. Verse 21 actually is verse 22 in the KJV, and verse 21 is missing ("And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.")

- Acts 24:7 and 28:29 are missing too. Those verses are thought by many to be spurious, and they are omitted in most modern versions, but usually that's marked somehow (usually with -- or a footnote, or something like that) to show the omission is intentional. In the HTML text of this Bible those verses are simply missing. Can you have a look at the printed edition and see what do they look like?

Thanks!

Carlos

Hi Brenten

Both OT and NT can be found at http://www.bibelesbi...le/default.htm.
We would greatly appreciate if you could build a Latvian Bible for e-sword since we are missionaries in Latvia and we recommend e-sword often.

I will give it a try today and get back to you.

Hi

Well, another possibility is using some SQLite tool, like SQLite Manager, to export the text to .csv or .xml formats, then use BeST2 to convert those to e-Sword 8 format.

But I agree that it makes no sense to go backwards.

It happens whether I open up the document with T3 or paste in the data.

I also get an "RTF not available in clip board" pop up every time I try to hit the backspace key on my Windows 7 machine. This only happens when I have T3 open.

I may be the only one with this issue, as I have not heard that anyone else has it.

Hi Peter

I had the same problem recently with the backspace, and posted it here. Brent answered this, which fixed the problem:

"In T3 - click Options+T3 Clipboard HotKey. Set it to some obscure combination. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12 or some such. The problem should go away. Some how it must have been set to backspace on your system."

Hi Patchworkid

 

what Hebrew font does e-Sword use?  I know it is something like Titus Cyberbit basic, but what I am asking is name of font like HebraicaII or another Hebrew or Greek font 

 

Josh has explained what a legacy font is. The good news is you will easily find converters from most legacy fonts to unicode. Just search Google for "convert hebrew legacy unicode". I found this one online that supports several different formats, but there are many more, as well as downloadable converters:

http://www.tertullia...rse/convert.htm

 

On the other hand, Titus Cyberbit, which is the default font for Hebrew and Greek in e-Sword, has a problem with pointed Hebrew text. Vowel points appear displaced to the left, in many occasions they seem to be under the next letter. A free font that I like a lot and fixes this problem is Ezra SIL. It contains all the Hebrew characters you may ever need, and it looks great. :-)

Hi Brent

I just downloaded T4 1.10 and I'm getting a realy weird error.

When I run it I get a tx4ole17 error that says "The designated text area is too small for the new format settings". When I accept that a huge error window appears. I'm sending you a screenshot attached.



Did I break something in my system as usual, or is it a bug in the new version?

I'm running XP SP3, and all previous versions worked fine until now.

Thanks!

-- New - Copy and Paste work on Verse List pane.

Thanks!

Hi Brent

When does this happen? When you first start the program? I've not heard of any others having this issue. Any other error messages before this one?

I see it's not a problem with T4, but with my system. The same happens if I install any older version, that used to work fine. So it seems I have broken something, but what could it be? What does T4 rely on? NET Framework, maybe?

Thanks for your interest.

Hi Brent

Try this first - delete the file: "C:\ProgramData\Tools4eSword\ToolTipTool.ini"
Then restart the program.

It's fixed. It seems Windows needed a restart. I should have tried that before bothering you.

It's working fine now.

Thanks!

Carlos
