Summary: text rendering has problems with KJV

Initial Comment:
KJV rendering has some problems with new 1.6.4 package in Debian. Probably it's not our C++ code but either the KHTML rendering engine or our HTML code which causes it. All spaces and punctuation marks are a bit upper than words and with some fonts e.g. commas are in the middle of the text line.

This doesn't happen with e.g. ESV. It's easy to guess that KHTML for some reason handles the HTML code strangely. In KJV almost every word is surrounded by some tags unlike in the other modules.

I also noticed that in KJV footnotes don't work. There are only "(1)"-marks which don't do anything.

ESV passage headers don't look good: they are similar to the general text, using exactly the same font style.

I think this has already been fixed, or
rendered moot by the switch to Qt.

I don't seem to be able to attach a 
screenshot for some reason?  Maybe
only project members on SF can do that?

Anyway, this looks fine to me.

I would like to consider this one for the upcoming minor relase. Can
someone tell how fixing this would affect the other bug? KJV is quite
common after all, many people will see it rendered ugly if this is not
fixed.

OK, now I found the other bug: #1668060. This should be researched
further. This one (KJV problem) is nasty because it is seen in the
environment which is quite standard for many people.

This was located in css display templates. Easy to fix. This was discussed
in the mailing list but I'm still not sure if changing triggers some other
bug.
