[sword-devel] locale problem

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Manfred,
    The SWORD engine will not be Unicode aware unless it is either 
compiled with ICU, or else you provide your own SWStringMgr subclass 
which uses the Mac functions to implement the string manipulation 
function of the base class.

    A quick test might be to just enable ICU in the SWORD compile and 
see if it fixes your problem.  You can find it in the ./usrinst.sh 
configuration script.

    I hope this helps. 

          -Troy.
