[sword-devel] greek font, unlocking BHS

[sword-devel@crosswire.org]

I have a number of Greek fonts which handle the final sigma of you can't find any, I believe 
them to be in the public domain. I have gathered them over the years. I could e-mail you a 
few of them if you would like. I am in way a programer, but have been keeping up (to the 
best of my ability) I do how use Sword, along with about 6 or 7 other Bible programs often. 
I have a few suggestions, but feel that it may be a little early to bring them them up. I do have 
a rather large collection of English Bibles (over 250 in part or whole) and would love to see a 
few of them placed into a Bible program. I quickly downloaded the Syriac thinking that it was 
James Murdock's translation (came out long before the copyright laws) I have been wanting 
to make an e-copy for years. Those who know of know what I mean. It would be great to 
have a small collection of scholarly Bible translations (which are in the publick domain) to use 
which many are far better than what is around now, at least as good.
