Please can anyone shed any light on this version history for the WLC module?
The phrase "undid NFC normalization" in May 2009 is what prompts me to ask. SwordVersionDate=2013-10-11 Version=1.9 History_1.9=Updated to WLC 4.18 (2013-10-11) History_1.8=Added pe & samekh 'paragraph' marks to text (2012-04-17) History_1.7=Updated to WLC 4.14, corrected some spurious markup (2012-04-14) History_1.6=Updated source attribution, undid NFC normalization, placed DH identification notes inline, fixed spacing problem (2009-05-26) History_1.5=Updated to WLC 4.10 with additions from www.tanach.us, using native versification History_1.4=Corrected internal markup to conform to OSIS 2.1.1 schema, changed About markup to RTF (2008-07-02) History_1.3=Fixed the conf History_1.2=Bugfix for textual errors. Re-added setumot and paraschot, even though their presence in L is not verified, according to Kirk Lowery. Fixed transcription note values. Included morphological segmentation in preliminary markup. Added xml:lang="en" to notes. Update to newer version (wlc-4.4). History_1.1=Update to newer version (wlc43-20050319) of the WLC from WHI; Bugfixes in the conversion program that caused textual errors (thanks to Chris Kimball); Fixed one footnote text template. History_1.0=First public version. Description=Westminster Leningrad Codex ---- The latest version of the WLC module text is normalized to NFC. cf. The OSHB module is also NFC. The MapM module is not normalized. Further considerations: A bit of digging unearthed this relevant information.. The specified font in the WLC conf is Ezra SIL. The web page for Ezra SIL fonts includes this rather obscure note: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=EzraSIL_Home * Follows the recommendations for character order and encoding determined by a group of font developers during discussions in May 2003. This does not follow canonical order. Texts which have been converted to NFC or NFD canonical order will not display correctly with these fonts.
