[sword-devel] Greek UTF-8/Unicode

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear Robin,

Have you tried my advice regarding selecting a font specifically for 
your module in the BibleCS preferences dialog?  You must select a font 
that includes the characters which you used when encoding your module.

Hope this helps.

    -Troy.
