There may be somewhere in Bibledit where you have to enable the
keyboard program. Unfortunately I'm using Bibledit on Linux, so I
don't know exactly what would be the equivalent on a Mac. If I get
any ideas, I'll write back.

Thanks Paul,
I am able to view the coding now. This is helpful. I changed
the font to my Lao font and changed the key board, but when I
type it is still in English. If I switch to any other program,
it is in Lao.

Hi Brian,
I'm also a novice Bibledit user, but here's a couple of
thoughts.
Choose "View" menu then select "USFM code" to get the \c
\v etc.
Choose "View" menu then Font & Color > and then
"Text", remove the check mark at the top in front of "Use
default font", then you can choose an appropriate font
from the list below which may help.

Hi.
I am new to Bibledit. This morning I installed
Bibledit on my mac and accessed it by typing
"bibledit-gtk" and was given the following error:
(process:67987): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not
supported by C library.
Using
the fallback 'C' locale.
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display
"/tmp/launch-2tEc2L/:0".
Bibledit came up and I began to play with it by
creating a new project. This has led me to several
questions.
1. How do I start? I can navigate to the
chapters and verses of my choice and I see a
string of numbers at the top of the screen (which
if I remove, then I can no longer navigate to
those verses). Where do I enter the \c \v codes?
2. I can not type in Lao in bibledit. I can
copy and paste Lao that I typed in elsewhere, but
the vowels are all funny. (The vowels that occur
above the consonants are monospaced and take a
space all their own.) Is there any way to set the
font that I want to something other than a
monospace font?
3. Is the error message that I got important?
Any advice or help is appreciated.
