I agree, but I don't think we can trust the E disk to be free of these
problems (or others like them). Working with the TLG can be very
frustrating.
It may be relevant that the format of citations in TLG .txt files,
and the format of .idt files, are really PHI (Packard Humanities
Institute) formats, applicable to all the PHI Latin disks as well.
In a Latin text, there's no need to switch back and forth between
Greek and Latin fonts. This may explain why .idt files include some
text fields with no font indicators at all (no '&' and no '$').
