This format exists. It was pioneered by TeX and is now widely used by other applications. Here is the OpenOffice repository: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries You can plug these into Prince as per: http://www.princexml.com/howcome/2006/p6/p6demo2.html I agree that browsers should read these dictionaries. However, the dictionaries don't have to ship with browsers -- they can be web resources just like style sheets and images are. -h&kon Håkon Wium Lie CTO °þe®ª [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.opera.com/howcome
