BUG: Bible references change the font

Gregory Lawhorn

I'm running Logos 32.0.29 on Mac Sonoma 14.3.1.

I fully accept the possibility that I've changed something in settings (it if is, please direct me to the right spot), but can the programmers please flip the switch so that Bible references are not changed to a different font than is used in the note? It's just ugly, folks. The color change alone is enough to indicate that it's a link.

Are you saying that bible references assume a different font to the rest of the text when/after they have been entered?  What happens when you paste from a book?

If you select text that includes bible references does altering the font correct the situation?

Thanks for the response, Dave. To make it simple, I've uploaded a 1 minute video to YouTube that shows the changes in action:

But, yes, Bible references become a different font when Logos turns them into a link. It happens when I paste text as well. It cannot be changed from that font. And, when scrolling the cursor through the reference text in blue, the font name in the selection box remains the chosen font, NOT the font in which the reference is displayed.

I can reproduce that in Notes in Windows 11, but Clippings are unaffected.

OK, so it's a quirk in Logos that we can hope might one day be addressed.

It appears that the Bible reference font is Source Sans Pro. When I use that for the Notes font, there is no visible change to references. Still needs to be fixed, though, in my view.

This is exactly the mistake that bothers me, too. Is there any hope that this will be corrected?

Incidentally, only biblical passages are affected by the formatting problem. Other hyperlinks are not changed.

@Gregory Lawhorn I can duplicate this behavior you mention: once a Bible reference is typed, it automatically changes the font for that reference. I experience this in both Mac and Windows.

If I copy and paste any text of any kind into a Note, the font automatically changes to the default font, even if I have selected a different font for that Note.

I can't duplicate the stubborn behavior you show in your video, where it is not possible to change the font for the Bible references afterward.

I am opening a ticket for this issue:

When using a non-default font in a Note, typed Bible references do not respect the currently selected font.

This at least is a start.
