Notice in verse 1 after God nn Now what I did was have the normal text font size 11 and the Red n as 8
Does this help an anyway?

The downside to creating a Bible with specific font sizes is it prevents e-Sword from using the user's default font size setting (Options/Fonts in e-Sword). It will be too big on some screens and too small on others. People have complained about other resources that did not respect font sizes. But it's easy to strip out the font size information later even after the module has been created.

could a "relative" font size selection (which is available in WordPerfect) be used to create the illusion of SMALL CAP without affecting the eSword protocols? That way, no matter what font size is selected (12, 14, 10, etc.), the smaller type will always be smaller - because it will be "relatively small).

I ran a test for my own interest's sake. You are correct that e-Sword does not show small caps. I tried changing font size, and that does work, but I understand Josh's concern. In the words of Yule Brenner (in the King and I) "is a puzzlement!" I have attached my test files, which are made up of 3 John and Jude (chosen because they were short enough to be hand edited). So, my original question gets even thornier . . . .

Good question!!! Anyone have an answer?

I have seen a few resources with small caps which displayed properly in e-Sword, but I don't remember which ones. But now when I looked at one which does have \scaps, it does not display as small caps. I'm pretty sure e-sword did display small caps, atleast in some previous version.

That's a great idea, but no, e-Sword does not support relative font sizes. I use color to get around this. Navy blue which make something stand out. Or a grey for footnotes which does not leap out at you unless you're looking for it.
