Hi!

I managed to convert Longman Contemporary English Dictionary from the Lingvo format .dsl to .dic, and it works pretty fine.
However, there is a very unpleasant display error in the phonetic transcription, although most of the transcription letters are displayed well. Instead of certain characters a square is displayed as it was in the early times of Windows with missing characters.
There seems to be no way to change the settings of the dictionary.

Can anyone help?

By the way, I am very interested in a large english-german dictionary, not of the kind found fort stardict of freelang, but rather PONS or LANGENSCHEIDT. Is there any way to buy and download it on the net?
