Some of the Bible's listed require special fonts be installed to be
viewed properly.
We have provided instructions below to assist you in setting up your
web browser. You may not have the proper fonts installed on your computer
so you may need to download them. You can find most fonts for free simply
by searching in Google for the name
of the needed font.
Here you can find instructions about Netscape's Navigator/Communicator
and Microsoft's Internet Explorer. We used Greek encoding as an example
but these instructions should work for most fonts.
Microsoft Internet Explorer Versions 5.x:
1. Select the fonts that should be used by the browser for the
Greek encoding.
Go to: Tools -> Internet Options -> Fonts. Select Greek in the
'Language Script' area.
At the Web-page font select a Greek one you have extracted e.g. Arial
Greek and at the Fixed-width font select Courier New.
2. Select the language that should be used by
the browser.
Go to: Tools -> Internet Options -> Languages. Add the greek language
at the list and put it at the top.
3. Select a default encoding.
To do this, you need to select View -> Encoding -> Greek ISO,
or View -> Encoding -> Greek Windows. Also, if the Autoselect
option is checked, uncheck it.
Microsoft Internet Explorer Versions 4.x:
1. Go to: View -> Internet Options -> Fonts.
There, include Greek in the Character Sets area. Click once on 'Greek',
then choose Greek Alphabet (ISO) from the Character Set drop-down menu
and then click on the Set as Default button.
2. You then should change the default fonts for the Proportional font
and the Fixed-width font, to e.g. Arial Greek and Courier New respectively.
Netscape (versions 4.x):
1. Select the fonts that should be used by the browser for the
Greek encoding.
To do this, you need to select Edit -> Preferences -> Appearance
-> Fonts.
Here, you should change "For the Encoding" to Greek, and enter
fonts such as Arial Greek for the Variable Width Font, and Courier New
for the Fixed Width Font. For the "Sometimes a document will provide
its own fonts." option select Use document specified fonts, including
Dynamic Fonts. However, if you run across a page that should be in Greek
but appears in gibberish, you might want to try changing this option
to Use my default fonts, overriding document-specified fonts.
2. Select the language that should be used by
the browser.
To do this, you need to select Edit -> Preferences -> Navigator
-> Languages.
Here, you should add the Greek language and put it on top of the list.
3. Select a default encoding.
To do this, you need to select View -> Encoding -> Greek ISO-8859-7,
or View -> Encoding -> Greek Windows-1253. Also select View ->
Encoding -> Set Default Encoding.
Netscape Versions 3.x:
1. Select the fonts that should be used by the browser for the Greek
encoding.
To do this, you need to select Options -> General Preferences ->
Fonts. For each of the Use the Proportional Font and Use the Fixed Font
you should click on the Choose Font button, and select a font. Before
clicking the OK button, make sure that the Script: option is set to
Greek.
2. Select a default encoding.
To do this, you need to select Options -> Document Encoding ->
Greek. Also select Options -> Document Encoding -> Set Default.
