Hi guys
I am a user of Sword and Bibletime, I am using 1.1beta2. I love the
software and everyone's commitment to the project it helps me no end in
my ministry. I even compiled my own ESV module the other day.
But.........
I am not able to print the IGNT module with both greek and english, for
that matter I can't seem to print anything apart from english, can
someone help ? I am sure it is something silly I am not doing.
My setup is:
Mandrake 8.2
Bibletime 1.1beta2
KDE 2
Bitstream Cyberbit font seems to be installed
HP Laserjet 1200

Yes. Integrate it directly. Once this is done I'll start to integrate it in
BibleTime as well. It will be much easier from a user's standpoint, if he
does not need a separate package.
Troy said we can also go for the integration of InstallMgr backend
functionality in sword. That would be nice as well, since we want to start an
installmgr widget/app for KDE soon.
