[be] Using bibledit with Lao on Mac

[Brian Wilson]

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.
