Hi Костя ..... The version I had - 0-9-14 - is the current release 
version, and the one which is in Google Play. I've taken the testing 
version - 1.0.3 - from the BibleTime Mini site, and that does let me 
change the font. The one I'm using is Garamond which does have the full 
Greek character set, including, as far as I can see, all the accents and 
breathings.

The following footnote in Brenton works really well: "Philistines. The 
LXX. generally render by Φιλιστεὶμ or Φυλιστιὶμ till about the middle of 
Judges, after which the word almost always used is ἀλλόφυλοι. In this 
there was probably some accommodation of sound to tense."

With all the other fonts I tried, the accented characters either didn't 
show at all or were displayed as a box. I've no way of knowing whether 
Garamond was on the original Android installation or whether it was 
added when I installed an app. - I understand that standard TTF fonts 
can be included in an Android package. Thanks for your help. Maybe it 
needs adding to the faq.

God bless, Barry.
