Notes
- These settings apply only to the database application and do not affect static documents in other sections of the website.
- The application uses client-side web storage to retain settings across pages and sessions. Please note that this feature will not function if you are browsing in incognito/private mode or if site data storage is disabled in your browser's privacy and security settings. Only basic configuration data is stored – no tracking information whatsoever. Clearing your browser history or clicking 'Reset' will remove all saved settings.
- Support for the Gothic alphabet is experimental. An appropriate font is required on your system; most modern systems and phones (as of 2025) include one. We may add an option to select a specific typeface — Dr. Pfeffer’s fonts come to mind.
- Selecting the ‘Gothic alphabet’ option does not switch the page into diplomatic edition mode, does not attempt to render actual manuscripts. It simply applies a mechanical conversion to Streitberg's text. This feature is provided for didactic purposes, allowing you to practice reading the alphabet. (If you hesitate, hover your mouse over a word to see its transliteration!)
- To view the Collitz-character (see Streitberg 1920, p. 41), you need a Unicode font that supports the Latin Extended-B range. For precomposed polytonic Greek, a font that supports both the Greek and Greek Extended ranges is necessary. Modern browsers automatically select an alternative font for code points not included in the default font. For more information on Unicode support in browsers, see Alan Wood’s Unicode Resources.
