<< I'm working with the OTA BHS text and trying to place it in HTML. For some

when I tried the same thing with the BWHebb BibleWorks font, the text
renders correctly.
Does anyone know of a work-around for this problem? If not perhaps we could
work on a conversion tool that would render the OTA text in BWHebb instead.
any thoughts?
I'm currently working with SIL Ezra in HTML as well and have noted the same
problem. Since I am using FrontPage, I have the option of setting the font
to condensed (at varying levels). Frequently this necessitates adding extra
spaces after the vowels so that it appears correct when compressed (generally
at setting 2 or 3).
