[sword-devel] Bible in Myanmar

[David Haslam]

Observations: (continued)

4. In addition to the reported instances of the anomalous 3 characters (È,Ø,ò) found after the font conversion,
there are 6 instances of the string "m;" that are also probably due to bugs in the converter.

Best regards,

David
