depending on your needs. You can access the configuration dialog by

selecting <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenu">Settings</span></span>

<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Configure <span class="application">BibleTime</span></span></span>.</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="hdbk-config-bt-display"></a><span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenu">Display</span></span></h3></div></div></div><p>The startup behavior can be customized. Select from the following options:

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Show tip of the day</p></li><li><p>Show startup logo</p></li></ul></div>

</p><p>Display templates define the rendering of text (colors, size etc.). Various built-in templates are available.

If you select one, you will see a preview on the right pane.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="hdbk-config-bt-languages"></a><span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenu">Languages</span></span></h3></div></div></div><p>Here you can specify which language should be used for the biblical booknames. Set

this to your native language, if it is available, and you'll feel at home.</p><p>By default, <span class="application">BibleTime</span> uses the <span class="acronym">KDE</span> general display font which can

be specified in the <span class="application"><span class="acronym">KDE</span> Control Center</span>. You can override this font if neccessary.

Some languages require special fonts to be displayed correctly, and this dialog

allows you to specify a custom font for each language.</p><div xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="mediaobject"><hr><img src="ss_configfonts.png" alt="Options Dialog - fonts"><div class="caption"><p>The Options dialog - Fonts.</p></div><hr></div><p><span class="application">BibleTime</span> can now use all fonts supported by KDE/QT.

As long as the works you are interested in display correctly nothing

needs to be done here. If a work only displays as a series

of question marks (??????) or empty boxes, then you know that the standard

KDE display font does not contain the characters used in this work.</p><p>To correct this, choose this work's language from the drop down menu.

Select the use custom font checkbox. Now select a font. For example, a font

that supports many languages is Code2000. If no installed font can display

the work you are interested in, try installing the <span class="acronym">KDE</span> localization

package for that language.</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="hdbk-config-bt-addfont"></a>Installing fonts</h4></div></div></div><p>Detailed font installation instructions are outside the scope of this handbook.

<span class="acronym">KDE</span>'s <a href="help:/kcontrol/index.html" target="_top">KControl Center</a> contains

an excellent and easy to use font installation module.

its documentation</a>. For further information you might want to refer to the

Unicode HOWTO</a>.</p><div class="tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Tip</h3><p>If you use a small font like Clearlyu (about 22kb), <span class="application">BibleTime</span>

available at no charge. None of available fonts includes all characters
