<chapter id="hdbk-config">
<title>Configuring &bibletime;</title>
<para>In this section you find an overview to configure &bibletime;,
which can be found under
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu> in the main menu.</para>
<sect1 id="hdbk-config-bt">
<title>Configure &bibletime; Dialog</title>
<para>The &bibletime; user interface can be customized in many
ways depending on your needs. You can access the configuration
dialog by selecting
<menuchoice>
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu>
</menuchoice>
<guimenuitem>Configure &bibletime;</guimenuitem>.</para>
<sect2 id="hdbk-config-bt-display">
<title>
<guimenu>Display</guimenu>

<para>The startup behavior can be customized. Select from the
following options:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Show startup logo</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist></para>
<para>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.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="hdbk-config-bt-languages">
<title>
<guimenu>Languages</guimenu>
</title>
<para>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.</para>
<para>By default, &bibletime; uses the default system
display font. You
can override this font if necessary. Some languages require
special fonts to be displayed correctly, and this dialog allows
you to specify a custom font for each language.</para>

<para>&bibletime; can now use all supported fonts.
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 display font does not contain the
characters used in this work.</para>
<para>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 localization package
for that language.</para>
<sect3 id="hdbk-config-bt-addfont">
<title>Installing fonts</title>
<para>Detailed font installation instructions are outside the
scope of this handbook. For further information you might want
to refer to the
<ulink url="http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Unicode-HOWTO-2.html">
Unicode HOWTO</ulink>.</para>
<tip>
<para>If you use a small font like Clearlyu (about 22kb),
&bibletime; will run faster than with a large font like
<trademark class="registered">Bitstream
Cyberbit</trademark>(about 12Mb).</para>
</tip>

<sect3 id="hdbk-config-bt-ob-font">
<title>Obtaining Fonts</title>
<para>Fonts can be obtained from a number of sources:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Your *nix distribution.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Your distribution's localization packages.</para>

<para>An existing

<para>A font collection, such as are available from Adobe

<para>Unicode fonts support more characters than other fonts,
and some of these fonts are available at no charge. None of
available fonts includes all characters defined in the Unicode
standard, so you may want to use different fonts for different
languages.</para>

<para>Many features provided by the Sword backend can now be
customized in &bibletime;. These features are documented
right in the dialog. You also have the possibility to specify
standard works that should be used when no specific work is
specified in a reference. An example: The standard Bible is used
to display the content of cross references in the Bible. When you
hover over them, the Mag will show the content of the verses
referred to, according to the standard Bible you
specified.</para>

<para>HotKeys are special key commands that can be used in the
place of the menu items and icons. A number of &bibletime;'s
commands have predefined HotKeys (see
<link linkend="hdbk-reference-hotkeys">this section</link> for a
complete listing). Most of &bibletime;'s commands can be
assigned HotKeys here. This is very helpful to quickly access the
functions that you need the most.</para>
