Hi Peter,<br><br>It's not GS's fault. (BPBible has it too) It is a core sword problem with divineName tags with utf8.<br><br>Quoting from osishtmlhref.cpp:407 (equivalent is in rtf, as well)<br> scratch.setFormatted("%c<font size=\"-1\">%s</font>", lastText[0], lastText.c_str()+1);<br>
<br>
It takes the first character - a perfectly good assumption in english text, but one that will not work with chinese. This first character in chinese will be a special utf8 character telling it to look for more. Then the UTF8HTML converter swallows up the next two letters leaving "ont size=-1>" where it should be <font size="-1">. This causes problems.<br>

Both Chinese modules in Beta have when I looked at them with GS in<br>
various OT books an odd sequence of three unrecognised characters.<br>
<br>
An example is in Numbers 1:1, characters 17-19.<br>
<br>
I have tried a multitude of fonts.<br>
<br>
BD works fine.<br>
<br>
By carefully counting out characters on BD and GS, it appears that the<br>
three characters appear where the 日 is supposed to be.<br>
<br>
It is well possible that I have missed the one font which works.<br>
<br>
I would be grateful if someone who knows Chinese could check.<br>
<br>
Peter<br>
