BHS module. The font-change effect started with the alpha incorporating
colour-schemes, but your sword_dct doesn't change font's as I described. It
uses code2000 no matter which font is selected.
The hebrew word order problem has been there for a while. I was slightly
incorrect with what I said before... the swapping of the order is dependent
on whether the verse is before the current one or not. i.e. verses after the
current one appear the same when they become the current one, then swap word
order per line when the current verse is after them.
AraSVD has similar problems. Not being able to read hebrew, nor arabic makes
it hard to figure out what it is doing, but looking at Genesis 1:1 in
AraSVD, there appears to be a word with a smiley face in it. If Genesis 1:2
is selected, the smiley face disappears.
Adding Font=Code2000 to the AraSVD.conf results in the smiley face staying
there.
Summary:
sword.exe changes font and word order for "right to left" modules for verses
between the start of the chapter and the current verse
sword_dct.exe does too, but doesn't change font if font is specified in the
.conf.
