Thank you to each one who responded with a font suggestion. I have bundled 3 suggestions.
There are two new options under Settings which should allow you to selects a font for both the reading text and also the application text. I first list all the bundled fonts, then 3 generic font families, and finally I list all the fonts the OS tells me are available. I haven't much luck setting any of these last group on my phone, but they are supposed to be available, so I left them in the list hoping it's just a quirk with my phone. Thank you again for the suggestions. https://crosswire.org/~scribe/bishop-1.3.902.apk bishop-1.3.902.apk size: 9270471 md5: 42acc83519931c3beb1c2bdd4dfb85a6 On 3/19/20 9:59 PM, Michael H wrote: > I like PT Serif and PT Sans because they have a wide coverage in > Latin, and Cyrillic, including many minority languages.
