    I find the same thing with certain bible modules. For
    instance, the Apostles Bible has no text for the New
    Testament, so the only thing you see are verse numbers. The
    Bible in Worldwide English has no text for the Old
    Testament, but if you select a New Testament book you see
    some text.

    Have you tried a number of different bible modules?

    i tried KJV, RSV and ASV.

    interestingly, i did an experiment. i have a RH7.3 box where
    everything works (i have gnomesword 0.7.3 running). when i
    connect to the working box (ssh with X forwarding) from the
    non-working box and display the application, it exhibits the
    same problem. this makes me think that the problem is down
    at the font level in X. but i'm kinda out of my area of
    expertise!

    I'm out of my depth on this one purely on the basis that I'm
    using a different version to yourself so I can't be sure of
    the issue.

    I'd agree with your analysis. Definitely sounds like fonts
    can't be found on the local X server. I take it you are
    running from the terminal, there's no useful output?

    I wonder if you try running it through strace whether that
    would show the fonts it was trying to open.

    Sorry - I guess I'm not going to be of much use after all.

    Can you try with the latest version (2.0.0) please? I'd like
    to check where we are with this issue.
