[sword-devel] GlobalOptionFilter=UTF8GreekAccents and non-Greek modules

[David Haslam]

Hi Peter,

I'm sure that your method should work correctly for the UTF-8 Arabic and
Hebrew filters, since AFAIK, and as per my limited amount of testing
yesterday, those filters are well behaved and have restricted scope.

If there'd been nothing wrong with UTF8GreekAccents as a filter, then your
method would have been sound for sure. But the evidence being accumulated
all points to serious defects in the implementation of the filter within
SWORD, and that possibly boils down to a bug in a dependent library such as
the ICU.

It needs someone with more C++ programming knowledge than mine to delve deep
into the source code for this filter in order to find out precisely where it
goes wrong.

With it being a beta testing kind of bug, it's quite conceivable that it was
there from the very beginning.

Best regards,

David
