Dear Ole,
Thanks for your suggestion which I'll consider. Here at the cottage, I'm
using a Tashiba laptop that I bought in late 2000 and with the same IE 5.5
browser that came with it. So I think that is probably in need of upgrading
anyway. I can use the online PED on the U of Chicago website with all the
unicode letters displaying correctly. If I copy and paste the results from
iCPD to a word program like WordPad, the letters will read correctly. I
wonder if there might be a problem in the stylesheet (pali05.css) for iCPD
in that there are very few fonts included on the FONT-FAMILY: lines. As an
experiment I added "Gandhari Unicode" and tested it. All the characters
displayed correctly on the bar of letters at the top right of the page but
not sure if it would work the same for the search results.
I think we're also in need of a special dictionary for the technical
language used in the Pali grammatical texts.
Jim
<< I think that you will get around that problem if you use Mozilla. Please
try
it out, and see if it works. If you still encounter problems, please let me
know, and I shall look into it. The text is in Gandhari so it should work.
It is very important that it can be used without any problems. >>
