Not sure how or when this started happening but there are boxes in my information text (see screen shot).  I have the defaut font set back to default (I have experimented with other fonts but set it back to default hoping it would solve the problem but doesn't) and Greek font is set to SBL Greek.  How can I fix this?

    You may have a corrupted font file, or that font doesn't work well with the Strong's resource the info panel is using (is it an old one?). The latter is my suspicion, since the Greek font seems to work fine for the Greek in the other resources in your screen shot. Previously, before unicode, Logos used substitute font sets (Graeca and Graeca II). An older resource might confuse the new system.

    You could try switching to a different Greek Font and see if that fixes it. I'm using Gentium Plus, and it works for the Strong's lexicons I have (Enhanced and New Strong's...).

    Try setting the Greek transliteration format in the settings tool to SBL Greek and the Greek font to Gentium if you haven't tried this yet.

    Copy and paste Strong's Greek # 3579 from Information:

    • Strong’s Greek #3579 3826 ξενίζομαι (xenizomai), ξενίζω (xenizō): vb.; ≡ Str 3579; TDNT 5.1—1. LN 25.206 (dep.) be surprised, be astonished (Ac 17:20; 1Pe 4:4, 12+); 2. LN 34.57 show hospitality, entertain a guest (Ac 10:6, 18, 23, 32; 21:16; 28:7; Heb 13:2+; 1Co 16:19 v.r. NA26) 

    into Word 2010 shows font as Times New Roman (that has unicode greek characters), hence wondering about Logos 4 Default Font ?

    Keep Smiling [:)]
