[jsword-devel] Hebrew/Greek defs as tooltips

[Mullins, Steven]

Wonderful ideas!  Would be a good idea create an option for the font
used to render the tooltip for each language.  For example, I use
Gentium for Greek and SIL Ezra for Hebrew.

Getting closer to BibleWorks!

Hi, this is very helpful, thank you. I have another question: Do you
somehow control the dimension of the tooltip box? when there is no line
break, would the tool tip turns out to be too long?

Cheers
