# &bibletime; configureren

In this section you find an overview to configure &bibletime;, which can be found under Settings in the main menu.

## Configure &bibletime; Dialog

The &bibletime; user interface can be customized in many ways depending on your needs. You can access the configuration dialog by selecting Settings Configure &bibletime;.

### Display

Het gedrag bij het opstarten kan aangepast worden aan de gebruiker. Maak een keuze uit de volgende opties:

- Toon opstartlogo

Display templates define the rendering of text (colors, size etc.). Various built-in templates are available. If you select one, you will see a preview on the right pane.

### Desk

Many features provided by the &sword; backend can now be customized in &bibletime;. These features are documented right in the dialog. You also have the possibility to specify standard works that should be used when no specific work is specified in a reference. An example: The standard Bible is used to display the content of cross references in the Bible. When you hover over them, the Mag will show the content of the verses referred to, according to the standard Bible you specified. With the use of text filters, you can control the appearance of the text.

### Languages

Hier kunt u specificeren welke talen gebruikt moeten worden voor de bijbelboeknamen. Stel dit op uw moedertaal als deze beschikbaar is en u voelt zich helemaal thuis.

By default, &bibletime; uses the default system display font. You can override this font if necessary. Some languages require special fonts to be displayed correctly, and this dialog allows you to specify a custom font for each language.

&bibletime; can now use all supported fonts. As long as the works you are interested in display correctly nothing needs to be done here. If a work only displays as a series of question marks (??????) or empty boxes, then you know that the standard display font does not contain the characters used in this work.

To correct this, choose this work's language from the drop down menu. Select the use custom font checkbox. Now select a font. For example, a font that supports many languages is Code2000. If no installed font can display the work you are interested in, try installing the localization package for that language.

#### Lettertypen installeren

Detailed font installation instructions are outside the scope of this handbook. For further information you might want to refer to the Unicode HOWTO.

If you use a small font like Clearlyu (about 22kb), &bibletime; will run faster than with a large font like Bitstream Cyberbit(about 12Mb).

#### Lettertypen verkrijgen

Lettertypen kunnen worden verkregen uit een aantal bronnen:

- Your *nix distribution.

- De lokalisatiepakketten (localization packages) in uw distributie.

- An existing Microsoft Windows installation on the same computer.

- Een verzameling lettertypen, zoals beschikbaar is van Adobe of Bitstream.

- Online verzamelingen van lettertypen.

Unicode fonts support more characters than other fonts, and some of these fonts are available at no charge. None of available fonts includes all characters defined in the Unicode standard, so you may want to use different fonts for different languages.

##### Unicode lettertypen

Code2000 | Misschien het beste gratis Unicode lettertype, welke een groot aantal karakters ondersteunt.
SIL unicode fonts | Excellent Unicode fonts from the Summer Institute of Linguistics.
FreeFont | A new free Unicode font initiative.
Crosswire's font directory | Several fonts available from the &cbs; FTP site.
Bitstream CyberBit | Dekt bijna het gehele bereik van Unicode, maar kan &bibletime; vertragen door zijn omvang.
Clearlyu | Is inbegrepen in sommige distributies. Bevat Europese, Griekse, Hebreeuwse en Thaise karakters.
Caslon, Monospace, Cupola, Caliban | Gedeeltelijk bereik van de Unicode standaard, zie voor meer informatie op de bijbehorende website.

There are good Unicode font lists on the net, as the one by Christoph Singer ( Multilingual Unicode TrueType Fonts in the Internet), or the one by Alan Wood ( Unicode character ranges and the Unicode fonts that support them).

### Shortcuts

Shortcuts (previously known as HotKeys) are special key commands that can be used in the place of the menu items and icons. A number of &bibletime;'s commands have predefined Shortcuts (see the Shortcuts section for a complete listing). Most of &bibletime;'s commands can be assigned Shortcuts. This is very helpful to quickly access the functions that you need the most.

In the preceding example, F2, Bible Study HowTo has a secondary shortcut defined, CTRL+2.
