I am in the process of creating a commentary file (currently in excess of 3 MB) for my Afrikaans Scriptures. In this file, I frequently refer to Hebrew and Greek words. If I run a "Unicode Fixup" as described in the Tooltip User Manual, my whole file is wiped clean. All that remains is my email address that I enter into the Header.

If I don't run the "fixup", my hebrew text is garbled. - The Hebrew word for "Covenant" (beriyth) looks like this: áÌøéú.

Does anyone experience a similiar problem?

Thank you.

The Hebrew Unicode Fixup and the Greek Unicode Fixup are for for words in Greek and  Hebrew. You need to make sure the font setting for Greek and Hebrew are set correctly in e-Sword. 

 

The word Beriyth in Hebrew looks like this בריית'

The default font in e-Sword for Hebrew and Greek is Titus Cyberbit Basic but you can experiment with other fonts if you wish

Hi Tj...!

Thank you for your quick response. It actually widens my question...

My ordinary text in my commentary is most probably 99% of 3 MB standard text in the Calibri font, 12 point. If I don't run "Unicode Fix" that comes out perfectly, but the Hebrew quotes, come out as strange characters as indicated above. The Hebrew characters and text are all marked as Titus Cyberbit Basic, yet,, when I run "Hebrew Unicode Fixup", all my text is erased, except for my e-mail address.

My Tooltip version is V2020-04-11.

Thank you.

ToolTipTool NT 20191007 Should work. Not sure what the issue is with the  2020 version but it will never be fixed.

@ Waarheid Ondersoeker

And the reason for "it will never be fixed" bit is that the author of T4 has gone to be with the Lord. And moreover, T4 was written in a programming language which used numerics as its code; of which no one here knows how to program in such a method.

 

So, all this means is that ToolTip Tool NT will never be updated. Not only that, but also no-one else has put up their hands to create a similar program to replace T4, and as such this application will eventually become incompatible and obsolete that it will die.

 

Blessings,

Stephen (Php 1:21).

The font settings are for e-Sword not Tooltip as long as the correct fonts are set in e-Sword everything should work correctly with out needing use the fixups
