hi
I would like to know what font is being used? As I know it should be Titus Cyberbit Basic. and the text (font) can be Gentium.
These fonts should be in your basic OS package (comes with the computer)

This is just my suggestion.

Thanks

Hi Niobi

I don't think it's a font problem. I'm using XP and have "Palatino Linotype" set as the Greek font in e-Sword. But the text looks fine too with Titus Cyberbit.

If you look at Peter's text, all the Greek letters are displaying correctly, only it's showing the ?'s. It seems there's a difference in the way Windows XP and Seven handle unicode RTf encoding.

Peter, do you have any Greek NT installed? Does it display correctly? If so, I would like to have a look at the RTF codes in that NT module.

Thank you guys. At last help is coming. Yes, I think the problem might not be with the fonts but be with the way XP or 7 handle the encoding.

Please see the discussion above. In the past we had to upgrade the fonts on the XP machine to the ones used in Windows 7/Vista. I do not know if that would solve this issue.

The problem lies with XP. And also that the modules weren't made "correctly". They don't use e-Sword's greek or hebrew. They have their own RTF headers and therefore, override the e-Sword language settings. They use Times New Roman instead. And for some reason, on XP, Times New Roman Greek/Hebrew doesn't display properly. I spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting this earlier and could not arrive at a solution without "surgery" on the modules.

You can copy and paste a section of the commentary (including a greek sample) into your topics editor. Notice the font. It's not being rendered in e-Sword's fonts, Titus Cyberbit Basic, or anything else. It's Times New Roman.
