Thanks Chris, for the more up to date title, which I'd come across before,
but had escaped my immediate memory.
If the price puts you off buying David Norton's book A textual history of
the King James Bible,
then use worldcat to find it in a nearby library.

The original 1611 printing of the original English Authorized Version also
included (in addition to the much discussed and documented pilcrows) footnotes,
cross references, and sections.. although the sections were listed
Before even contemplating starting such a project, it is advisable to become
acquainted with the detailed textual history of the Authorised Version.

I would suggest investigating the Latin Extended blocks. There are many

Hi Jeffrey,
There is literally no possibility that any characters in the 1611 KJV
have not already been encoded in Unicode. Don't concern yourself with
fonts at all. You don't need to make your own font. And we will not
distribute fonts with modules. Your only concern in this area is
Sorry for the misinformation. I had thought someone had said there were
no GUI tools, so making a module was not as simple as it could be.
Please forgive my ignorance. I didn't realize it could be done so
easily, do you have links to the info on how to do it, so I can be
better informed and not

Printers at that time did a number of things that would be surprising to
us today. Also, things like spellings were not as officially fixed as
they are now. That means that being faithful to the text, and/or
translators, is not as clear of an objective, with texts that old, as it
is with some
Hi Swordsmen,
One thing I’ve been hoping to see is someone interested enough to make a KJV
1611 module. I like the version for a few reasons, like the natural flow of the
text, it’s poetic nature is beautiful to me, and the Reformation principle of
clarity is followed imho.
So since the Sword
If you wanted to do this you would need an appropriate font. You may
have to actually make a font. I suggest using fontforge as it is free
(as in freedom, as well as no cost).
depending on your platform this could be extremely easy to install, or
you may have to go to the website to download
I don’t think I would have to make the entire font. There should be an
opensource font that has the ascii. Then maybe adding a few glyphs.
But do I understand that the module has to provide its own font? Can we use
system fonts? I don’t know for sure, but I bet there may be a common enough

I've seen the objections to the AV on the Crosswire website.
Is there a 1611 Sword module available anywhere? It's interesting to see that

Every now and then we get a question whether we have the 1611 version of
the KJV. Our answer pretty much is that they don't know what they are
asking for and that if we did have it, they wouldn't be able to read it.
