Summary: Custom Font does not change

Initial Comment:
When Configure Bibletime > Languages > Greek, Ancient > Use custom font is selected, the font does not change.

If the English font is selected, the font can be changed. But the Greek font can only be resized, not changed to a different font.

I can't reproduce this with 1.6.4 and KDE 3.5.8. It is a bit difficult to
test this because there is no way to see if the font really supports the
selected character set and what it should look like. The renderer seems to
select some other font if the user-selected does not include the characters
at all, only the size and maybe spaces between characters and some other
properties are applied. Tested with Greek and Hebrew.

I have said in wiki and repeat here that the font selector is not user
friendly because it has an arbitrary example text which does not represent
the wanted language.

Maybe we can close this as "works for me" and wait for more information if
someone still has problems later.

I just tested this in 1.6.4 on Ubuntu Gutsy and it works ok, I can change
the font for ancient greek well. It works in SVN head too. Please provide
more information (Eeli) what exactly is wrong here and needs to be fixed.

Using the svn HEAD I changed the font of WLC from the standard Sans Serif
to another. It results to this css code:

 #content {font-family:Sans Serif; font-size:12pt; font-weight:normal;
font-style: 
 normal;}

 *[lang=he] { font-family:true; font-size:10pt /*!important*/; 
 font-weight:normal /*!important*/; font-style:normal /*!important*/; }

 *[lang=zh] { font-family:true; font-size:10pt /*!important*/; 
 font-weight:normal /*!important*/; font-style:normal /*!important*/; }

BT 1.6.2 (Kubuntu 7.04) works fine, I tested KDE4port svn previously. If
this is our bug it has crept in after 1.6.2. Maybe something with css? Can
others confirm this?

I tested this further and noticed that this may be a real bug after all. I
checked some fonts with Hebrew WLC, copying the text to OpenOffice. Some
fonts should work fine but they cannot be used in BibleTime. Needs further
research.

Works for me. One thing I noticed is that if the font doesn't include
Greek glyphs the display window uses another font which has the glyphs, not
the new one. Only the verse numbers change. Looking carefully at your
picture file shows that this might be the case here. Try to check your
fonts with some other program.
