Dear Tobias,
Please be sure to note my comment to you below in this thread. It is likely the cause of your rendering issues, while other apps have no problems.
In brief, it says that I haven't seen anywhere that you tell SWORD what markup and encoding you want from the engine. If this is the case you will get whatever the modules are encoded / marked up as, which might be various things.
Hope this helps,
Troy

That rebuild used mod2imp and imp2vs and included a fix to the text encoding implemented on the IMP textfile). The message was sent to the modules address on 2013-01-21 but presumably never progressed by Chris Little who was then still supposed to be responsible for module releases and updates. He went permanently AWOL from CrossWire around that time.

I'm happy to fix some of them, but I definitely do not speak Finnish, so I'm not sure this would be a responsible action. If Dom gives me the go I can fix syntax & submit, but I don't want to end up in the rabbit hole :) Best would be to reach out to the original maintainer.
