I recently purchased 1.53d. -- Best regards, Costasmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

The only thing I wish for addressbook is support for unicode fonts (especially if you are using a directory service like Netscape Directory Server) Is there something special that I have to do to get this to work? I already have Greek language support installed on my PC (Windows 98SE). I can send and receive emails in Greek using The Bat! but when I try and enter a name in Greek in the address book, the characters that appear there are unintelligible. -- Best regards, Costasmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Addressbook uses standard windows fonts. BUT BEWARE. There is an old, very old bug in windows. If you haven't installed greek as default language (during windows setup) it is very difficult to use greek fonts in any window application which uses standard windows fonts. If that's the case and have no deeper knowledge in MS windows you must reinstall them. But *maybe* it is a problem related to The Bat 1.53 (allthough I don't remember having this problem). Perhaps you should download a copy of current beta (1.54Beta25) and try it. You have to rename thebat.exe to thebat-1.53.exe before unpack the current beta. It's true that I didn't install Windows with Greek as the default language. This hasn't caused me any problem so far, for normal work, but you may well be right. I'll try and use 1.54 Beta25 - when I find it. Looking at the website, the latest available version seems to be Beta 24, unless I'm searching for it in the wrong place. -- Best regards, Costasmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Looking at the website, the latest available version seems to be Beta 24, unless I'm searching for it in the wrong place. Quick test. Try Start-Run... Try to type greek to the input box. If you cannot write greek there you have problem. Oh! You are right. I cannot write in Greek in the Start | Run input box. I wish I'd known about this a few days ago when I had formatted my PC and reloaded everything from scratch. I would hate to reinstall Windows, as I suspect the CD installation may mess up my Internet Explorer (version 5.0 is on the original CD and I now have version 5.5) and possibly other programs. Is there a shortcut way of solving this problem? Anyway, if I were to reinstall Windows with Greek language as the default, would I be automatically seeing Greek in the Windows title bars and menus? This is something that I don't prefer to have. -- Best regards, Costasmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Yes there is a work around but it's tricky. Basically you have to replace some .fon files in your font directory. Unfortunatelly I'm using Win 2000 for a long time and I don't remember what you have to do excactly. A, you should also change autoexec.bat and config.sys. I don't remember what I have done when I resolved this problem 2 years ago. Anyway, if I were to reinstall Windows with Greek language as the default, would I be automatically seeing Greek in the Windows title bars and menus? This is something that I don't prefer to have. You will see greek nowhere. What you will have is system fonts with greek support. Now you have greek support but NOT system fonts with greek support. Try to search ms knowledge base, maybe they have post a workaround. But WHENEVER YOU INSTALL WINDOWS ALWAYS CHOOSE CUSTOM INSTALL AND ALWAYS CHOOSE GREEK KEYBOARD LAYOUT GREEK LANGUAGE AS DEFAULT. (sorry for the caps :)) Thanks. I don't think I have the strength to go through another format so soon after the last one! I'll make do with what I have for the time being. If I find an alternative solution, one that doesn't involve a Windows reinstallation, I may try it. -- Best regards, Costasmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
