In this section you find an overview to configure BibleTime, which can be found under Settings in the main menu.

Aseta BibleTime -ikkuna

The BibleTime user interface can be customized in many ways depending on your needs. You can access the configuration dialog by selecting Settings Configure BibleTime.

Display

Käynnistyskäyttäytymistä voidaan säätää. Valitse seuraavista valinnoista:

  • Näytä aloituskuva

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.

Languages

Tässä voit määritellä, mitä kieltä käytetään kirjojen nimissä. Aseta tämä äidinkieleksesi, jos se on saatavilla. Silloin tunnet olosi kotoisaksi.

By default, BibleTime uses the KDE general display font which can be specified in KDE's Control Center. 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.

Options Dialog - fonts

Valintaikkuna - Kirjasimet.

BibleTime 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.

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 KDE localization package for that language.

Kirjasimien asennus

Detailed font installation instructions are outside the scope of this handbook. KDE's KControl Center contains an excellent and easy to use font installation module. Please read its documentation. For further information you might want to refer to the Unicode HOWTO.

Tip

If you use a small font like Clearlyu (about 22kb), BibleTime will run faster than with a large font like Bitstream Cyberbit®(about 12Mb).

Kirjasimien hankinta

Kirjasimia voi hankkia lukuisasta joukosta lähteitä:

  • Linux-distribuutiosi.

  • Distribuutiosi lokalisointipaketit.

  • An existing Microsoft Windows®installation on the same computer.

  • Kirjasinkokoelma, sellainen kuin on saatavilla Adobella tai Bitstreamilla.

  • Online kirjasinkokoelmat.

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.

Table 4.1. Unicode-kirjasimet

Code2000 Ehkä paras ilmainen Unicode-kirjasin, käsittää laajan joukon merkkejä.
SIL unicode fonts Erinomainen lingvistiikan kesäinstituutin unicode-kirjasin.
FreeFont Uusi vapaa unicode-kirjasinaloite.
Crosswire's font directory Useita kirjasimia saatavana Crosswire Bible Society Ftp -palvelimella.
Bitstream CyberBit Käsittää melkein koko Unicode-merkistön, mutta hidastuttaa BibleTimeä merkittävästi koon vuoksi.
ClearlyuSisältyy muutamiin jakeludistribuutioihin. Sisältää euroopan, kreikan, heprean ja Thai-kielen.

There are good Unicode font lists on the net, as the one by Christoph Singer ( Multilingual Unicode TrueType Fonts in the Internet), or the one by Alan Wood ( Unicode character ranges and the Unicode fonts that support them).

Desk

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 crossreferences in the Bible. When you hover over then, the Mag will show the content of the verses referred to, according to the standard Bible you specified.

HotKeys

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 this section 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.
