Troy,
It acts exactly the same as before. NASB works fine, KJV is invisible.

Ok guys, I have a new CE binary ready for testing. Did some debugging
on the KJV that indeed wasn't showing up, and found that we were
returning null occasionally from XMLTag::getName() -- must have invalid
markup. So, we must check for .getName() == null first before sending
it to strcmp.
http://crosswire.org/~scribe/swordce.zip
Anyway, the sword libs have been updated and the KJV seems to work ok
now for me.
I think we still have a problem with UTF-16. I'll try to have a look at
our UTF8 to UTF16 filters soon and see if we can get things resolved. I
figured out that you can specify the font in the HTML source stylesheet,
so there is a line commented out that hardcodes code2000 in there.
Maybe we can make the font selectable for individual modules.
Well, try it out and let us know. If you're programming, be sure to
update both the sword and swordreader cvs modules.
God's blessings,
-Troy A. Griffitts.
