Unable to view bibles in Greek and Tamil

Post by jackrabb1t »

I installed theWord with wine, and it generally works.
I am able to see English and Hebrew text.
In the screenshot attached, the green pencil shows that the greek text is not shown in bible view.
However some greek text shows up in the book view.

For the purpose line, it is supposed to be a Tamil language bible, and that does not show up as well.

Please suggest how I can fix the fonts.

thank you.

In the File/Preferences window, there are two tabs - Bible Texts and Fonts. Make sure the font selections on the Fonts tab point to fonts that really exist on your computer. If there is a Bible module that does not display correctly, set the font for that module on the Bible Texts tab to a font that really exists on your computer.

thank you for your reply.

Problems fixed:

1) I was able to fix the greek font in LXX by downloading and installing the font from SBL-Site.

Problems still existing:

1) For the "Tamil" language font for the Tamil Red Letter bible, this file is no longer around (unable to reach website) - http://download.theword.gr/bin/tam.ontx.exe

Is there a mirror for this file?
