[sword-devel] Song of Solomon missing from ChiNCVt

[DM Smith]

Regarding the escaped RTF tags. The SWORD Project for Windows (BibleCS) and JSword frontends properly display the RTF. However, if it is replaced with UTF-8, then BibleCS shows ugliness. We have a good number of sources with UTF-8 in the About field, that BibleCS does not handle properly.

I think we should convert the About to UTF-8.

In Him,
