I just opened my PB The Complete Commentary of Oecumenius on the Apocalypse and discovered that all of the accents appear over a circular placeholder rather than over the proper vowel.
This is the first time I opened it since installing L5.
Hi George,
What Greek Font, and English font are you using? Have you tried changing either?

KadmosU which is the same font I used for this PB in L4 and which worked perfectly there. What English font? Well, I guess there is a little English in the footnotes, and I use KamosU there as well since it appears very much like Times New Roman and doesn't require changing fonts when changing languages. Besides, a unicode font is a unicode font is a unicode font.
I noted a typo in the page I posted and tried opening the docx file to correct it but was informed that the file was corrupt. Perhaps that is the problem. Now I wonder how it became corrupted. This means I will have to retype pages and pages of Greek or forget the project.

The docx file for the front matter opens in Word and appears fine, but the Greek still appears as in my posting.

This might be possible. I scrolled my list of PBs to find one in greek and compiled it: ECF in Greek
I'm no way near a Greek scholar, but to me this looks like it should:
:
The compile ran on Logos Bible Software 5.0a Beta 2 (5.0.1.0168) on a Win 32 bit system, I use GentiumAlt as Greek font in Logos and the book's language is set to Greek for the PB compiler (it seems the Word docx still thinks it's US English, though, and uses Times New Roman).
EDIT: I just upgraded to 5.0a RC 1 (5.0.1.0216) and recompiled: no issues, looks the same as above. /EDIT
George, maybe you have this file (Rosie shared it back in February) and could try a compile on your machine?

I'm sorry about that, George. The reason I asked about your English font is because I've seen other books (non-PBB) where the font--even the Greek font) was being dictated by what was dictated by what was chosen for English. In this case an accent mark was causing the character to become a box because the customer was using an font for English that the particular character did not support. Having them switch to the Default English font fixed it.

Part of the problem is solved. The file I was attempting to open was the automatically saved Word file rather than the actual file that was creating the PB. The problem still remains. I never had a problem with these files in L4 so something is amiss in L5.
I've emailed you.
