[sword-devel] Windows CE interface

Wed, 21 Jan 2004 18:43:43 -0500

Troy,

Ok, I followed everything religiously, without my quirks of trying to
maintain old file structures.  This build won't read KJV where it would
before.  Note: the KJV does have notes that showed in italics.  It reads
the NASB module fine.

Program Files\sword\books has 3 subdirectories (mods.d, nasb and kjv)

mods.d has 3 files (nasb.conf, kjv.conf and globals.conf)

I need the datapath statement in each modules conf file for them to
work.

The globals.conf file is empty?

Thoughts?

Dan

P.S. http://palmtops.about.com/library/bltips9.htm says to install
fonts:

Tip: To install new fonts on you iPaq,  copy the true type font file
from you desktop windows\fonts directory into your iPaq's windows\fonts
directory.

Ipaqs are supposed to handle Unicode already.

Dan,
	Yeah, the layout has changed now that we use the SWORD library 
defaults.  Also, it's not the same as the windows frontend.  I have 
books placed in the 'books' folder now, so sword.conf will be used to 
find them AND books on SD/MMC cards.  If you read the INSTALL.txt in the

zip file, it will explain the preferred layout, and the .zip file 
contains the correct subdirectories, so you should unzip it and preserve

directories.

	What you show below includes a few workarounds that should not
be 
necessary any longer.  So, I would recommend removing \Program 
Files\sword and starting over with the zip file (and reading the 
INSTALL.txt)

	Also, I can't confirm that these modules actually work.  I've
tried 
BHS, ASV, and WHNU, and all seem to lookup fine.  I still have font 
issues, but for the ASV, I get readable text, and the other 2 I get the 
correct number of [] boxes :)  Hoping someone can tell me how to use 
other fonts on CE.

	Hope this helps.  Keep me posted on your progress,
		-Troy.
