Summary: Rendering problems with different font in WLC

Initial Comment:
When checking the bug #1794908 I noticed other oddities with WLC module (maybe also other modules, I have not checked) and fonts. Changing the font affects the footnote marks. If I select a font which apparently does not have Hebrew characters the footnote marks (for example in Genesis 1) are rendered correctly (*). If I change the font to something which has Hebrew characters the footnote marks are rendered )*(. There is some Hebrew text besides the footnote which is rendered always with the same font (the default font of the renderer?) regardless of the custom font.

Okay.  The Cardo font fixed it.  I didn't think it was using the custom
fonts at all previously.

Thank you,
Caleb

Yes, please send a screenshot. Did you try the font "Cardo"? If not,
please do so -- it is available for free at 
http://scholarsfonts.net/cardofnt.html.

I am having a similar problem with the font rendering on Mandriva 2008,
BibleTime 1.6.5, WLC ver 1.3, KDE 3.5.7.  The Hebrew text will not render a
Yod; it just shows a big square box where the Yod should be.  Since the
default font has this problem, I've tried selecting a custom font in the
BibleTime settings with no luck.  Actually, I've tried everything from
TekniaHebrew to Century Schoolbook and the font doesn't change at all.

I also have another issue (perhaps related) that the Hebrew text starts
off the right side of the screen so the beginning of every verse is not
viewable.

I can send a screen shot if that helps.

Thank you

I cannot reproduce this, maybe it was fixed by the HTML changes I made
recently. Can you please re-check this bug, if it still occurs for you? For
me it works fine with the font Cardo, for example. --mg
