Biblical search results are missing trop only for the word(s) you search for
I noticed the following today: if I type in a hebrew word to search for (e.g. הָרָצִים֮) I'll get some results. Include some from Tanakh. All the results from tanakh will show up with nikkud for all words and trop for all words except the ones I searched for. This is true for phrases as well. It's true if the input includes the trop or not.
I think it would be nice if all the trop was there. Mostly I'm curious what the difference between the nikkud and trop in this respect.
[Not that it's particularly surprising but I checked and this is also true for ta'amei emet.] [Edit: Could it be a font thing? Probably the bold loses trop support, right?]
Examples:
I confirmed that if I paste from that text the trop is there. Probably a font issue then, yeah?
Hi, we will look into this. Thanks for pointing it out!
@edamboritz - I am assuming we did not decide this was urgent but just to confirm why this is happening: TaameyFrankCLM-Bold.ttf in /static/fonts/Taamey-Frank is missing the unicode glyphs for trop markers (TaameyFrankCLM-Medium.ttf has them).
@nissamai that is confirmed. We have noted the bug previously, but for several reasons decided to postpone the fix. Thanks!
