PRS+: Enhanced firmware for Sony Reader, Folders, Games & more - Page 80

In the menu "Date Format" there is only one option. I remember the beta there were several. Is it a bug?

I also thought so, but then realized: "2 of 2"...

surquizu · 05-21-2010, 04:42 PM

sorry, you're right

I'm curious, what is language number 9 and is it normal for me not to be able to read it.

It's possible I don't have the original system fonts installed?

It's Chinese. Corresponding fonts are too big to fit in firmware. Chinese users put them into internal memory.

Yes.
To see those four charaters, it's possible to put just those charaters into the fonts. But this will make thing clear (you can see the language name) or more confused (when you select it, you see boxes anywhere) ?

PS, I see boxes with lanugage 7 & 8 too

I thought about adding just those 4 glyphs, but decided it would be even more confusing, leaving impression fonts are there, when they aren't.

It dawned on me later what they were. Thanks for the great job.

Will this be available for the PRS 700 soon?

What is the procedure to put these fonts into the reader?

thanks

Unlikely. Expect "Browse Folders" on 600 "soon", if someone takes it and ports to 700 then, maybe. People say that 700 and 600 have very similiar software, but again, the same could be said about 500 and 505, yet nobody has ported it to 500.

I improved dictionary a little bit. There are now 2 sizes of text in result window ('old=large' 9x30 and 'small' 19x40). You can switch them by 'Size' button.

I have made my own EnglishChinese dictionary,but the dictionay can not display all the translation.The missing worlds are taken place of "...." How can I solve this problem?Thank you

Wouldn't it make more sense to set size via addon settings mechanism?

mike007dog
Strings are split into lines manually, X chars per line I guess, in case of Chinese those N chars do not fit.

Reason is simple but solution - very dificult to do well.
Reason of this problem is that there is set limit of characters per line - and it is too much for chinese. It is set to 30 characters in 'old' version and to 40 characters for my 'small' version (see my previous post). See variable lineLength (if you run dictionary from SD it is easy to change)
BTW: I've personal plea. Do you perhaps have English/Chinese or Chinese/English dictionary in pinyin?

Sure it would. It would be fine to set characters per line there as well (because of mike007dog problem) I'm not sure I'm able to do it... I'll give it try
