Ah, thanks for tracking that down and fixed it, Greg!

The issue was a bit more arcane.
Sword's configure.ac <http://configure.ac> unilaterally refuses to
even consider linking ICU if it cannot find icu-config, re-gardles of
options passed in. For the cross build ICU package in Fedora there is
no icu-config file. So I had to patch configure.ac
<http://configure.ac> to check for the ICU packages with pkg-config if
icu-config cannot be found, rather than blindly refuse to include ICU.
So the issue was that we were building the library without ICU support
but thought we were building it with, because of the configure options
we used.

Hi Karl,
I wonder if an ICU data dll is not present on the path. Just a
first thought.

We have a Xiphos bug saying that the new release does not support
transliteration in the Windows build. It works fine in Linux.
Xiphos itself knows next to nothing about transliteration, just
the option on the module context menu which provides for turning
the feature on/off. There is nothing deeper in Xiphos that knows
or cares, it just tells the engine what's wanted, and depends on
the engine to render text accordingly.
So the problem seems to be that it isn't enabled in how Sword is
built for Xiphos. And a couple of us looking at this are fairly
mystified.
It seems to be the case that this is driven by #define of
"_ICU_", based on its use in src/mgr/swmgr.cpp lines 300 and
1200. But the Windows build provides for ICU (config summary
shows it having been found) so we see no reason why this would be
a question.
Am I misssing the mark? Is transliteration enabled by some other
configurable aspect?
Transliteration worked in Windows build of Xiphos 4.2.1 (I
checked), so I got tag "sword-1-8-1" in order to diff swmgr.cpp
versus today's 1.9. Nothing of consequence; "ICU" does not appear
in the diff at all.
We could really use a pointer as to what we are missing.
Thoughts, theories, clues, and wild ass guesses are all welcome.
