May I enquire whether anyone on the list has
managed to convert the Oxford Text Archive (OTA) BHS text using
the SIL CC packages so as to end up with a full BHS text in SIL Ezra TTF font on a PC? The CCT conversion files seem to be faulty to me. After systematically trying all the possible permutations described in their Convert2.PDF file, the best I have been able to achieve is an ALMOST perfect text (99% or so), but with serious shortcomings. The conversion table to insert chapter and verse numbering seems to corrupt the BHS file irretrievably, but by omitting that stage, one can arrive at a text which with a little obvious minor editing is very nearly perfect, except that it has lost the first 2 or 3 words of every chapter - and of course has no verse numbering. These are serious blemishes. However, the fact that 99% of the text is perfect (including all the vowel pointing and cantillation) proves, I think, that the correct PROCEDURE has been followed. If anyone has succeeded here, where I have failed, I would greatly appreciate it if I could benefit by their experience. Best wishes to all John Richards |
