Thanks Joachim and Martin for getting back to me about printing.
I have installed KDE 3 and am now happily printing the IGNT module of 2
Timothy with greek and english showing perfectly. Thanks.
When you give a user something they will always want more!
I tried to do a copy and paste into Kword and OpenOffice. Kword showed
the english and greek, but also showed all this other stuff which I
gather was formatting info. Openoffice wasn't so successful. Is this a
Bibletime / Sword quirk or a Klipper - Kword quirk, or an Anthony Kerr
quirk? Do you know?
Thanks for your work as unto the Lord.

Thank you for your interest and your kind words about BibleTime! I hope I can
help you with this problem.
Since BibleTime 1.1 is a KDE 1 application it uses Qt 2 and KDE 2 to print the
text. But QT 2 DOESN'T allow to print unicode characters.
Using Qt 3 allows you to print unicode just like normal text. So the solution
would be to install KDE 3 and BibleTime 1.2 on your Mandrake box. I know that
there are binary KDE3/QT3 RPM packages around there for Mandrake 8.2.
So for 1.1 it's a BibleTime limitation. I attached a screenshot how printed
pages look in KDE 3 using BibleTime 1.2 (german language with KGhostview
previewing the pages). I hope you like it :)

Either create a new support query on www.sf.net/projects/bibletime or ask on
eof the developer directly (e.g. me).
Asking on the sword mailing list is ok, too. But the above solutions are the
better ones.
I wish you God's blessings!
