    Default SBL unicode fonts not displaying in BibleWorks9

    It is time to change over to unicode. I have the SBL Greek and Hebrew fonts installed on my Windows 10 PC so that they display correctly in MS Word. I have the SBL fonts selected in fonts section of BibleWorks for search, browse and export, but I can't get them to display correctly. Any help would be appreciated!

    Default work-around

    It seems to work if I select SBL unicode fonts only for export, and use BW fonts for all forms of display.

    I'm trying to configure Terminal with tmux and using the configuration I used with Linux which is working perfectly, even with PowerLine patched fonts I can't get these unicode chars to work with MacOSX Catalina.

    I have the opposite problem. I do NOT want the Unicode fonts to export. But even though I have them unchecked in the General "Fonts" tab, in Windows 10 the Greek always exports in Unicode when I copy from the browse window to the BW editor. On my old XP computer with the same settings the bwgrkl font copied. Did something change with Windows 10, or have I not found the correct font export setting?

    Try this:
    1. Main menu / Tools / Options ... / General / Fonts
    Make sure that the bottom option "Use these Unicode settings also for Verse text (override Output Format settings)" is not selected.

    2. Main menu / Tools / Options ... / Output Format Options / Selected Browse Text.
    "Where to copy the selected text ..." should have the "Clipboard (and drag/drop)" option selected.
    Under "Output Format Options ..." the top two boxes should be un-selected: "Export Unicode Greek" and "Export Unicode Hebrew".

    I think this should do it.

    Thanks. That fixed it. I had done everything but the last step.
