Kartu, Do you know how to edit in ultraedit or other similar editor the caracteres chinese or other extrange similar caracteres to be shown them the right way?

Install jedit. Utilities -> Global Options -> Text Area -> choose unicode font with chinese glyphs, for example ms sans serif.

Why, are you learning chinese? )

No i'm not, the reason is due, i've tried to open the new chinese traducción (or georgian) in my editor appears only small squares .

Is it posible to incorporated more fonts in Jedit?

Thanks

＠kartu:

SimplifiedChinese means "简体中文", not only "中文". We have a TraditionalChinese which means "繁体中文". Maybe someone want to translate PRS+ into TraditionalChinese, so it's better to use the more quantified word "简体中文".

Thank you.

Ok.

PS
By the way, which of the three fonts is normally used by Chinese readers? Are most books written using Simplified or TraditionalChinese?

There is enough space in firmware for a single 1.5-2Mb-ish traditional Chinese font. This one, for example:

Jedit uses fonts from your OS, it doesn't have its own fonts.
To view Georgian go to Utilities -> Global Options -> Text Area -> and choose Sylfaen.
Other than that, "Arial Unicode MS" should be able to render all.

For Ultra Edit Studio (UEStudio'06)

View -> Set Font -> (something like @Arial Unicode MS, which has "Chinese" into "Script" list)

From wikipedia:

Simplified Chinese Characters (simplified Chinese: 简体字; traditional Chinese: 簡體字; pinyin: Jiǎntizì) are one of two standard sets of Chinese characters of the contemporary Chinese written language. The government of the People's Republic of China has promoted them for use in printing in an attempt to increase literacy. They are officially used in the People's Republic of China (Mainland China) and Singapore.

Traditional Chinese is currently used in the Republic of China or Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. Overseas Chinese communities generally use traditional characters, but simplified characters are often used among mainland Chinese immigrants.

As described, some people use Simplified Chinese, some use Traditional Chinese. These two language can be convert from each other. Due to the population, I think more users use Simplified Chinese.

I use two chinese fonts: tt0003m and tt0011m. The size of the two fonts I used is more about 16MB The Droid Sans from Android is compact and supports CJK (The Droid Sans regular font also includes support for Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean support for the GB2312, Big 5, JIS 0208 and KSC 5601 character sets respectively), but is to big (about 3M) to fit in the firmware.

Anyway, have a default chinese font is better than none. I think the font you metion is ok, and I will ask other users if they have better suggestion.

First of all, Thank you for making the new firmware, I come from China, just to see thawk to your suggestion, I also look forward to such a function there, if added Simplified Chinese, no doubt most of the use of 505 friends is a very good news, and then expect also some suggestions:
1, in the main menu page, there are five kinds of classification, but only one of the 1-2 common species in the hope of personalized settings, so, some hidden behind the menu can be extracted to the home page, will be more convenient
2, sort the folder is great, but if we can set the stacks, that is, after clicking on the folder directly into the set the better
Thanks again for your hard work making another 505 expected by the player ... ... ~ @ ~

English is not good, with the goole translation, huh, huh, want to read ~

I don't understand this part:

I have a question regarding the Book History addon. Would it be possible to change the addon, so that you can open the book directly from the Book History page?
Currently the flow is: main menu -> book history -> book menu -> continue
I think it would be better as: main menu -> book history -> continue

This would also be closer to the original main menu -> continue

Another thing is, that sometimes the zoom in epubs gets reset, I didn't figure out yet when this happens though.

Otherwise I'm very impressed with the beta, everything works nice and smooth

It is a good idea and is, indeed, possible.

There is a confirmed bug related to it, should be fixed in the 1.1.1beta, which I hope to release today.

PS
By the way, there is an action "Continue Reading" (name is probably confusing, Book History would be more appropriate) which you could bind to keys.

I'm currently switching a lot between several Books, so the Book History feature comes in handy. Both features are very nice to have.

Edit: There is also a small bug in the PageIndex addon, currently it shows the time needed to read the complete book, I think it should be
timeLeft = getTimeLeft(getPpm(i), c - i);
for both XdivYstats1 and XdivYstats2.

Right. I'll add this fix.
