[bt-devel] BHS display

[anthony kerr]

Hi guys

As I have been using the BHS module a fair bit lately I have noticed some 
strange things happenning to the display of certain characters.

I have attached a highly compressed (shrunk from 1024x768 to 640x480 and file 
compressed) jpeg screenshot, to demonstrate what I mean.

1. in Deut 5:4 the holem waw in מִתֹּוך doesn't render properly.
this seems to be a general problem with all holem waw's

2. in 5:5 מִפְּנֵי also doesn't render properly, it seems that the word at the 
end of the previous line הָאֵֽש is rendered over the top of it. I discovered 
this when I ran the cursor over מִפְּנֵי to copy it, and  character by 
character הָאֵֽש disapeared to the left.

problem 2 seems to occur relatively frequently, but there is no obvious 
pattern to me.

When I exported the BHS module using mod2imp, everything seemed fine?

I have checked these against a hard copy of BHS.

3. The footnotes, which is I presume the masoretic notes I was looking for a 
while back is not rendered as hebrew. perhaps this is because the relevant 
characters are not defined - i.e. the masoretic notes using hebrew letters 
with dots above them (this is a wild guess with no substance).

hope this is a helpful report
in Christ
anthony
