Just need to have some tips on using greek fonts.  I have a TheWord module with NT Greek in it and it looks fine in TheWord but when I convert to MySword using the conversion tools the Greek font does not come out right.  It shows up as english characters.  What do I need to be aware of when converting TheWord modules with Greek into MySword modules?  B)

Hello,

 

I might be able to help but I would need to see the module.  You can email me if you would like me to try.

 

You may also need to install different Greek fonts from within MySword. 

 

Blessings,

Peter

Thanks for the offer but I since did some research and figured out what I need to do and have created a macro to do some converting.

In the commentary packages, I see question marks, spaces and vertical rectangular boxes where Gk letters should be. Is there a fix for this?

Which commentary?

 

You may have to try some different fonts.  They can be downloaded from within the MySword App.

Cambridge Greek. Don't know how to download more fonts or where to put them if available from outside source.

boone1962,

 

If you

 

Open the MySword app,

Goto settings

Select Download Modules

Select Fonts

Then download the various Greek  font options

 

Then go back to MySword main screen

Open the MySword preferences

Select Fonts

Select Alternate Greek Fonts

 

I have GalatiaSil selected and CambridgeGreek appears to display fine.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Blessings,

Peter

Thank u for good directions - easy to understand. All vertical rectangular boxes are gone. The question marks remain. See comments on 1Thess 1:6. Ron

I reconverted the file a different way and most of the ? marks appear to be gone:
