Hi Peter,
It's not GS's fault. (BPBible has it too) It is a core sword problem with
divineName tags with utf8.
Quoting from osishtmlhref.cpp:407 (equivalent is in rtf, as well)
scratch.setFormatted("%c<font size=\"-1\">%s</font>",
lastText[0], lastText.c_str()+1);
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.
God Bless,
Ben
