Re: [sword-devel] SwordReader - HTML Renderer - Demo

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:51:13 -0800

I'm not sure about David's HTML renderer, but SwordReader doesn't properly display accented Greek text properly as it is now, and Hebrew text displays nothing but boxes. As far as I can tell this is because the system font for Windows Mobile (Tahoma) does not have the characters. I hope that at some point there will be a way to choose the font which SwordReader uses to display texts. I ran into this problem with Vietnamese until I found a font that replaces the system font with a font that includes all the characters necessary to view Vietnamese. I'm still unable to view accented Greek or Hebrew though, which is especially frustrating since there are options to configure display of Hebrew cantillation marks! Even if this feature were available in a conf file it would be better than not being able to view these texts.

It's impressive.  I haven't been able to take accurate timings, but the 
impression I get is that they are similar on my device.  The only thing 
I'm wondering about: you seem to display a different font from the MS 
one: will it still be able to handle the Greek properly?

God bless,
