2. Usage problems | |
2.1. | Is it possible to search for a specific Strong number? |
The search interface now offers to set the type of your search. You can choose between headings, footnotes, Strongs numbers and morphological codes. | |
2.2. | Why do I see only question marks instead of Unicode text? |
First make sure you have the latest version of the module which has the problems! Check www.crosswire.org/sword for this. You have to install an unicode font like Code2000, Arial Unicode MS or Bitstream Cyberbit to display the special unicode characters. Check the section "Configuring BibleTime->Options Dialog->Fonts" in the handbook of BibleTime how to setup Unicode fonts under Linux. | |
3. Modules | |
3.1. | The KJV shows no Strong numbers in the NT |
You're probably using an outdated version of the KJV module. Please update the module. | |
3.2. | Where can I write down my personal notes? |
You have to install the module "Personal", which is available as a commentary on Crosswire. Please refer to BibleTime's handbook for more information about the personal commentary. | |
3.3. | Why is one of the two testaments of a Bible module empty? |
Some modules only contain the text of the old or new testament. Recent versions of BibleTime should only offer the testament which has some content in it. | |
