Hebrew transliteration font problem
Logos, you've got to get a font that allows to italicize ṯ and ḏ. It really stands out to have an italicized word with non-italicized letters inside. TDOT is full of these, given the abundance of transliterated Hebrew it has.

I see italicised d and t in TDOT (although it does seem clear that it's using a fallback font, but it's not really noticeable). Can you post a screenshot showing the problem(s) on your system? What font have you chosen in Program Settings?

That's exactly how it shows on my screen too.

Two non-italicized ṯ on the bottom line.
When I installed El Capitan, I made a new partition, and reinstalled everything from scratch. I don't think I've changed any of the font settings, but perhaps I did on an older version, and they synced?

I've filed a case for us to extend the character repertoire of our default font. (This requires requesting an additional from our font vendor, which can take a while.)

Should I change my Hebrew translit font in the short term, then? (I'm surprised the SBL font doesn't handle it well.)
Or are these being rendered in the default English font somehow? (which would seem to defeat the purpose of a dedicated Hebrew trans font.)
Thanks

There isn't a "Hebrew transliterated font" setting; this text is displayed in the "Default resource font".
If you have a system font with these extended Latin characters, you could set Logos to use it as a workaround.

Ah, I was looking at "Hebrew transliteration format" and misreading it as "font."
Thanks for looking at this on a Saturday!
And for anyone else, the Default (Logos 4) font handles this fine, I've discovered.

Gentium Plus may be worth a try.

Today on my ipad, I noticed that while ṯ and ḏ are fine, ḇ has no italic...

Can you post a link or screenshot? (I haven't been able to find this yet.)
