Fonts corrupted in notes reports for consultants

Question

When working in Paratext I can make notes on a Cyrillic project:

!

Though even then I had some difficulty, as whey I reopen the note after pasting a Cyrillic phrase in there, it comes up with a lot of info on the font and style. Still, that can be manually deleted, though this is time-consuming.

Worse, when I make a notes report, whether of consultant notes or project notes, all the Cyrillic and Hebrew fonts get corrupted. Here’s an example:

2KI 1:4 Иляс
Dawut Unknown 2018-01-02 >(Unassigned)
‘Ильяс пророк исполнил - это поручение’ - what did he do, exactly?
Dawut Unknown 2018-01-09

What’s going on here, and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

In your illustrated example, anon800197, you have the language russian (russ) applied to your note. So I would assume that, if the alphabet for that is Cyrillic, and is correctly set up, it should handle Cyrillic text fine. I can understand if you insert Hebrew to such a note, how it might create garbage from that, as Cyrillic script is not Hebrew script, nor vice versa.

I’ve tried changing it to Russian, and it still produces garbage.

The work-around, for the moment, is to produce a PDF list of notes, and
then anyone interested can look at their details in Paratext.

Answer 2

What version of Paratext is this in?

Answer 3

Looks like it is displaying the note as ANSI to me rather than Unicode.
Not sure why it would do this.
