A snap-to-grid option has been added to chart drawing. It is activated by default. When the User creates a new person or family on a Family Tree chart, their symbol “snaps” to the nearest empty square on an invisible grid. This keeps charts neater and well-spaced.
The size of the grid can be adjusted in “Edit Prefs.”

Recently, there have been two cases reported where a font was not displaying correctly in the XMLmind XML Editor and in the default PDF output. In both cases it was on Windows 7 and in both cases the user had installed a new version of the font in question. It turned out that there were duplicate instances of that font installed. (Why Windows 7 allowed duplicates, I have no idea.)
The solution was to get a tool like TypoGraf to see what fonts are truly installed, find the duplicates, delete... read more

This is a new version of OdtXslt that adds another transform to put the back link on a book name before the chapter number and at the top of each book it adds a link back to the table of contents. The text of the link back to the table of contents can be changed by changing the defined parameter in the .bat file.

When a reference is made to a head word with a homograph number, there appears to be a space between the headword and the homograph number. Take this example:
Note the space before the homograph number in the variant form. If the same data is displayed using the browser the space is not there. There is no space in the... read more
