Notes
- These settings only apply only to the digital edition, they 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. It will not work 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) seem to include one. We may add an option to select a specific typeface — Dr. Pfeffer’s fonts come to mind.
- The Gothic alphabet option does not switch the application into diplomatic-edition mode, i.e. it does not attempt to render manuscripts. It simply applies a mechanical conversion to Streitberg's text. This feature is provided for didactic purposes, to practise 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.
