Lexham Discourse Hebrew Bible

How will this show up in our account?  Will it continue to use yesterday's date?  I am not attempting to cause a problem or spew "sour grapes," but it will be most unhelpful to have yesterday's date in the account.  I would rather see it remain "under contract" until completed.  Maybe some other designation is more appropriate.  Something beside yesterday's date will be helpful to know when the project is close to completion because I do not intend to download it until it is completed.  There are just too few dollars to go around.

Mark, this will continue to say "shipped 10/9/2012" — I do apologize of this is an inconvenience to you. Because we have never done this before and do not plan on doing it again, there is no perfectly clean category for this project. Because of many factors, we had to make it live, and not let it stay on Pre-Pub any longer.

If you place your pre-order again, you can convert it to a live resource at any time until the final completion. When the project is complete it would be charged out like a normal prepub if you had not already converted.

I am having the same problem as Andre. (this is what I mentioned a few posts back about polish) Notice the attached capture showing the difference in symbols between the testaments. I do have the Logos Symbols Unicode font installed.

I get the same incorrect symbols too, I have the Unicode Libronix font installed, and have restarted Logos and my computer with no effect.

Since the process is different, I have just been attempting to make sure it is clear.  I think it will be a great product and I am thankful that Logos is behind this.  I have gone "all in" on Logos and no long buy paper books and have sold off much of my library.

What I think (and no one has asked me) would have been the better option is to match the price with the released material and then as the rest of the material is released, one pays for that portion of the release.  In other words, if 40% of the material is now available, have us pay 40% of whatever pre-publication price we locked in at.  When the next 20% is available, have us pay 20%, etc.  This would require a little more accounting work, but it is very possible.  This is not a "payment plan" because one is paying for the material actually released, just not the paying for the unreleased material.  This is more about Logos and not Steve (get back to work on Romans!).

LaRosa's rebooting may have cleared out the font cache, but I really don't understand the details. If those of you who are encountering this glitch could tell us what platform (Mac/PC), OS, and version of Logos you're running, we'll see if we can find a quick remedy.

Unfortunately, a reboot didn't solve it. [:(] I am running 4.6 SR-2 (4.60.0.3010) on Windows 7 (64 bit).

Is the "Libronix Symbols Regular" the font you are referring to? I seem to have that one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like 3 of us are having the same problem all on the same version of Logos and Windows. I have started a new thread here to focus in on the symbols that are used and the font issues.

Steven Runge said:

Is anyone encountering this problem with
the symbols showing properly who is NOT running Windows?

The aforementioned portion of Genesis 1 is displaying correctly on Macbook Air. 

Edit: Noticed you were looking for those having incorrect displays. Sorry. I'm not NOT having problems. 

Steve Runge said:

Mike from Logos Tech Support has posted a fix here on the new thread David started.

This fix works wonderfully for Win7 computers!!

I only received an email from CS today asking if I wanted the resource now or later.   Have replied and now waiting for them to process my order.

Is there someway to link up (similar to L3's Serial Resource Set) both the HDOT(ESV) and HDNT(ESV) so that when I enter OT or NT bible reference in any one of these HD Bible it will bring me to the correct HDNT or HDOT automatically.

Nope, but you can help us try to convince Logos to give it to us by adding your votes to Resource Associations.

LimJK said:

Sure do, will add my votes

8 new votes since I added the link. [:)]

Take a look at Resources like Wiersbe's Expository Outlines on the OT & NT it works the way I wished HDNT and HDOT should work when I enter a OT Bible Ref in HDNT(ESV) or NT Bible Ref in HDOT(ESV).

Actually, coming to think of it, I suspect the HDOT/HDNT issue could be solved by Logos simply adding a series tag to them. Let's see what Steve has to say about that the next time he drops by. 

Steve Runge said:

I talked to the guy about the thing. He said to close L4, reopen, then link the resources. It just worked for me having NIV and HDNT linked in the A set. I entered an OT passage (in the Gen-2Kin data released!!) in the HDNT command window, and it switched to the HDOT and navigated to the proper passage. This should take care of what you were looking for.

The Greek and Hebrew resources will still need to exist in separate tabs, but the ESV resources should behave as requested. It might take a few hours to percolate out, but it is on its way if you can't get the association to work immediately.

Steve,

I am happy [:)] to report that that both sets of resources (HDNT & HDOT) and (LDGNT & LDHB) are working as a serial resource set (ie. I can have one tab for HDNT/HDOT and another tab for LDGNT/LDHB), I noticed the "series" metadata information is there now [:)] Thank you!

PS: Just wondering about the naming convention, just curious, especially, when I am starting to tag all my important resources:

1) Why LDHB and not LDHOT [:)] when you already have LDGNT for your Greek Discourse Bible.

2) Why without the article "The" for LDHB vs the rest of the Lexham resources [:)]

Well, there was a hiccup somewhere, because I got charged today and I did not authorize it.

It could be because I just installed Windows 8 and a twisted sneaky app sent an answer back through email to authorize the charge, but let's hope not.[:)]

Did you have the resource on Pre-Pub? If you did and it wasn't' canceled then it automatically charges.

That particular one should not have been charged unless you specifically authorized it. This is because it is not yet "finished". Those who needed it for seminary or really wanted it got it. The rest of us were told we could wait for a year until it was completed.

Serial resource association worked for me up until recently. I just checked checked the "Series" tag in my Logos library, and lo and behold, only LDGNT and HDNT are tagged! LDHB and HDOT apparently lost their tags at some point. Is anyone else having this problem? Did it arise with a recent update to the Lexham Discourse Bible series?

By the way, Steven, all of your discourse resources have been very useful to me. Thank you for your labor! Now, I am anticipating the release of Isaiah and Jeremiah in LDHB. Logos would also benefit if it offered Stephen Levinsohn's writings.

I was just about to report this as well. The resource association became disfunctional after the update that I downloaded this weekend. Hope this can be fixed soon!

André

Thank you for your confirmation. I just opened a new bug thread dealing with this issue and another related to LDGNT. Hopefully it will get some attention in a new dedicated thread.

It works great! Thanks to all of you---Steven, Toby, and Hayley.

ETD must stand for the Emergency Tagging Department.

Hey all, 

Does anyone know when the new completion date will be slated for?

It seems it's running a little later than expected (Jan 2014), but it would be nice to have a heads up before it ships so that I can save up accordingly!

Thanks!

Yes, Steven Runge has indicated that it is running behind schedule (as are updates for LDGNT).

An update was just released on March 26th for Ezekiel through the minor prophets, so the Law and the Prophets are now complete. That just leaves the Writings (besides lots of updates/corrections elsewhere), which I imagine could take quite a bit of work.

Edit: I will also add that Runge recently gave the following timeline in an interview with Brian W. Davidson: "We have finished marking the discourse features for Genesis-Jeremiah; Ezekiel and the Twelve should ship by Easter. The initial version of the database should be completed this summer." Check out the interview for more information.
