#39 not able to view verses

[Anonymous]

I am using RH9 on a Dell Optiplex 400Ghz System. I have
loaded all of the required dev rpms that are in the
install help docs. Gnomesword comes up and only shows
the verse numbers, but not the verse itself.
My box is running Gnome 2.2

I submited this bug request before I found the update for
RH9. My only disappointment is that the fonts are not crisp.
I would like to find a way to have different fonts available
for use.

I thank the Gnomesword team and the Sword Project for making
this program. I have used Gnomesword for several years.

Simple solution :

• Start the gtkhtml-properties-capplet (from the commandline
  or the 'run' menu)
• choose for variable width 'helvetica (adobe)' with
  codepage ISO10646-1

The problem is (afaik) that GNOME defaults to an ISO8859-1
font, and gnomesword needs an ISO10646-1 font for hebrew and
greek characters. If you want a real (and ugly without
antialiasing) unicode font, see:

Personally, I find this a bug. Gnomesword is probably the
only app on the computer it's installed on that needs
ISO10646-1 fonts in combination with gtkhtml, so it needs
its own fontchooser in the prefs, overriding the gtkhtml
default.

For smoother fonts, the wait is for the GNOME2 version of
gnomesword.
