You can intall them easily. For beginners - see tutorials at the documentation s ection at http://wordrider.net IV. Limitations ============================== LIMITATIONS Problem: Some characters are not displayed. Details: See our FAQ section "Why WordRider doesn't support ..." Solution: Use an alternate character. Problem: Count of the characters(in the smallest and the biggest font) on the li ne does not correspond with a count of the characters in the calculator Details: WordRider uses the TI92PlusPC true type font which covers most of calc characters(not all, but most of them). Its disadvantage is that it has not simil ar sizes with a font used in the calculator. Therefore the default width for emu lation is set to 'normal' size font(25 characters, I expect that users will use it most frequently). Other font sizes are only near their count. I would be able to decrease smallest font size(to reach about 35 characters per line), but the text would have stopped to be readable(i had such responses from users with a hi gh resolution screen). It's really really hard to create similar true type font which is used in the ca lc. I don't know anybody who would be able to create it - maybe you can? :-) Solution: Unknown. V.
