Yes, this is probably an english on american usage, but I've never seen this in french Bible nor in the two german translation I have (I don't know for other languages). In fact, the king James version I have is also printed without small-caps. This is probably another locale related nightmare. - It's disturbing for some users (I have many bug reports on FreJND). - At least one translator (Darby) choose to write God, or Christ without an initial capital in some cases; which is mostly lost (hard to see) when displayed with small caps (1Sam.5.8 for example). - Many languages does not have capital letters. For the moment, the only way to have a "correct rendering" (according to some local usage) is to remove semantic informations. I would like to have a way to disable thoses small-caps. -- Seb, autocuiseur _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
