Good work! It's looking pretty cute - how does it print out on DIN A4 format sheets? (pdf is a good standard because the files having incorporated their own fonts - e.g. look at the pdf-webzine at http:// www.yiddishweb.com/tamtam.htm with the Hebrew fonts all included - Using the pdf-dictionary on the computer, though, is very, very slow in looking up entries. But that's not it's real goal.) .aulun.
