Bug: missing characters in Duke Papyri Database in bibliographies

I just noticed, that in bibliographies, special characters in the papyri designations get lost. The covers alre also affected.

Nothing really significant, but since it's an obvious bug, I thought I'd report it here.

I can see the problem with the cover images, but I don't know how to recreate the bibliography problem you're reporting. When I add these resources to a new Bibliography Document, the citations are correct.

I keep discovering more and more occurrences of the broken titles now...

Thanks Jan. We're looking into it.

Jan--Since Perseus is a free product that we convert in bulk via source files we're relatively stuck in the amount of editing we can do to the files. With the exception of C.tiq.Mom which was a conversion error that I fixed we're pulling the same titles provided to us in the source Perseus files. I can do some digging on how much editing we're able to do.

Thanks! The conversion error in T.Mom.Louvre seems to be exactly the same as in C.tiq.Mom.

I understand that you can't spend too much time fixing a free resource. Let me help improve it. I'll attach a list of incorrect titles later.

Done. I compared all titles with the checklist available at http://papyri.info/docs/checklist

The result is in the attached document. It very much looks like a general conversion issue with all titles that contain special characters. Hope this will help. 4705.Papyri.docx

Thank you Jan. This is helpful. We have already started updating the titles.

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for updating. I've been waiting for new files to downloa, however, the titles have all updated without download. [:D]

I've gone through all titles a second time to make sure that I've not overlooked anything. Here are a few more findings:

C.Jud.Syr.Eg.: The Judaean-Syrian-Egyptian Conflict of 102-101 B.C.: a multilingual dossier concerning a "War of Sceptres" -- Papyri.info claims the Judaean-Syrian-Egyptian conflict took place from 103 to 101. After a bit of research I believe they are right, and the Logos title is incorrect.
O.Oasis: Les Oasis d'Égypte à l'époque grecque, romaine et byzantine d'après les documents grecs
O.Vleem.: Ostraka Varia. Tax Receipts and Legal Documents on Demotic, Greek and Greek-Demotic Ostraka, Chiefly of the Early Ptolemaic Period, From Various Collections (typo in "chiefly")
P.Hamb.: Griechische Papyrusurkunden der Hamburger Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek (typo in "griechische")

Thanks Jan--I updated all of these via the server. (No need to wait for a new file to download.)
