Hi,
I noticed that some of the keys in the AmTract lexicon module (such
as "Abraham's Bosom") have apostrophes that don't work properly in the
frontends. In BibleTime (or at least the development code), the apostrophes
show up as boxes, and the contents are not fetched. GnomeSword actually
crashes when attempting to access those entries. I opened the raw
amtract.dat file in Vim and did "set encoding=latin1", which showed the
apostrophe as a "~R" (this being an indicator that it was some sort of
nonprinting character.) Upon "set encoding=utf8", it shows up as "<92>",
which is another indication of a nonprinting or unavailable character. Thus,
it seems the encoding is neither UTF8 nor Latin1. The amtract.conf file has
no "Encoding=" line.
Is this a bug in the module?
