### Installing the runtime

zbedic runtime comes as an ipk package. Use package manager to install it.

### Installing dictionaries

To use zbedic you have to download and install at least one dictionary. See Dictionaries for the list of available dictionaries and where to download them from.

zbedic uses combination of two methods for finding dictinary files installed on the Zaurus:

- standard document-oriented method allowing you to store the dictionary anywhere
- lookup in a list of predefined directories

The first method is more user friendly, but there are complains that it doesn't work for everybody. If you are sure you downloaded and installed the dictionary file, but don't see it available, try the second method.

Initially the directory list contains:

    	/opt/QtPalmtop/share/zbedic
    	/mnt/cf/opt/QtPalmtop/share/zbedic
    	/mnt/card/opt/QtPalmtop/share/zbedic

The list can be modified from the Settings dialog box.

### Fonts

The standard fonts on the Zaurus contain only Latin1 characters. Some of the dictionaries contain characters that are not covered by Latin1 (cyrillic, chinese and japanese, pronounciation characters). If you want to use these features, you have to install a font that contains these characters.

One such font is unifont. You can download it for Zaurus from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/bedic. To install it, just copy it to /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/fonts and restart the Zaurus.
