Hi,

I am trying OI on my Hanlin for the first time, and it is really great compared to the original Bebook firmware, mainly (for me):
- I can now use all the fonts I want (somehow only some of my user fonts were useable with the original firmware)
- hyphenation, although not perfect, is MUCH better with FBReader than with CR. This was the one thing that annoyed me most with the original firmware.
- ability to set margins, indents, etc from the FBReader menu (would be good to be able to set spacing between paragraphs as well)

My main question is: would it be technically possible to make either the CR or FBReader use a custom hyphenation dictionary, similarly to what is done in MSWord or OpenOffice Writer?

Small problems I have noticed so far:
- could not get comms via USB (WinXP): upon installing the linux.inf driver, I can see the network device but it has a yellow exclamation mark, and nothing shows up under Network Connections. Did anybody get this to work under WinXP?
- FBReader does not "see" the manual page breaks in .rtf files. CR does a good job of detecting chapter headings in rtf files and putting a page break before them even if there is no manual page break.
- when doing a word search in FBReader, I am getting a selection of Russian characters instead of English ones. Not sure why that is, maybe FBReader not properly detecting the language of the book as mentioned in other posts, but I would not know that since I cannot access the .xml file to change the language because of problem with USB above.

Basically, both FBReader and CR implementations have useful features. At the moment I prefer FBReader mostly because of the outrageous hyphenations in CR. In an ideal world, of course, ONE reader would have all the good features of each FBReader and CR, and get rid of the annoyances...

All in all, good job guys and keep up the good work. I will keep testing for a little while, and if I decide to stay with you, I will make a donation.
