No, it has nothing to do with the PDA version. The transliterated text
is in parenthesis, but it is not marked up, so there's no way to mark
that text with a different font.

Here is the output from sword's cmdline utility:

lookup NET "2 cor 1:4"
II Corinthians 1:4:
who comforts us in all our troubles<note osisRef="2Cor.1.4" n="6"><hi
type="bold">tn</hi> Or "our trials"; traditionally, "our affliction."
The term θλῖψις (qliyi") refers to trouble (including persecution)
that involves direct suffering (L&amp;amp;N 22.2).</note> so that we
may be able to comfort those experiencing any trouble<note
osisRef="2Cor.1.4" n="7"><hi type="bold">tn</hi> Or "any trials";
traditionally, "any affliction."</note> with the comfort with which we
ourselves are comforted by God.

See the above output for 2 Cor 1:4, note 6:

    "...that involves direct suffering (L&amp;amp;N 22.2)."

Thanks for looking into this Barry.
