[sword-devel] BibleZ HD Beta - webOS Bible Reader App for the HP TouchPad

[Stephan Tetzel]

Hi,

finally I could solve my problems. It wasn't related to UTF-8 at all =).
It didn't check if module->getConfigEntry always returns something !=0.
So there is one conf File that doesn't have a Lang entry: personal.conf.
Because of this I got a corrupted JSON string.

But I went through the confs and (at least) the following confs aren't
UTF-8 encoded:

finpr.conf
finpr92.conf
rieger.conf
spavnt.conf
swe1917.conf
ukjv.conf
viet.conf
wulfila.conf

For this files I get wrong encoded characters. I think the reason for
this is, that I compiled sword without-icu. For webOS I need to link all
custom libraries statically. If I link ICU to my App the plugin size
increase from ~800 KB to 20 MB. Do I need all icu libraries to get sword
working with icu support?

Thanks for all your help!

Stephan
