Thanks for the above suggestions. > Copy/Paste is a trivial feature. You might want to drop it from the > description (except if this feature is fairly unique for Quran readers) Yes, the uniqueness is that copy/paste can actually copy the text in the non-Othmani arabic script (called Imla'i script, that's an arabic word transliterated, I dunno the proper translation unfortunately). This is because usually text processors (& fonts) do not support the Othmani script, hence pasting the verse in a text processor for example would give un-readable result. > I wonder who many people use the word "Coran" for Qur'an in English.

I realized that people using the word "Coran" have french background. -- أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) Digital design engineer GPG KeyID: 0xEDDDA1B7 GPG Fingerprint: 8206 A196 2084 7E6D 0DF8 B176 BC19 6A94 EDDD A1B7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
