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 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.</p><div class="mediaobject"><img src="ss_configfonts.png" alt="Options Dialog - fonts"><div class="caption"><p>The Options dialog - Fonts.</p></div></div><p><span class="application">BibleTime</span> 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.</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 localization package
for that language.</p><div class="sect3" title="Installing fonts"><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
