Hello Fred,

> The abbreviation RTL is not one I am familiar with.  

RTL means "right-to-left", which is necessary for some languages like Hebrew 
and Arabic, but not yet supported by BibleTime. QT3 is expected to fix this 
(actually this will be one of our major strenths over other software packages 
for Bible study).

I hope so! ;)

"Unicode fonts have not been included in any of the distributions (as of 
January 2002)"

I don't think that is right. SuSE has clearlyu for example. Users can find 
out about the module's encoding in the "about module" dialog. There is a 
little typo on this page too: "The $bibletime; team expects the Qt problem to 
be resolved with the release of Qt3."

Apart from that, your docs are getting better and better! Your're doing a 
grand job!
