Sorry for being away for most of this month... am working my way through 200+ sword-related e-mails and saw this one:
NEW CHINESE TEXTS: It seems in our older Union texts, we added spaces between every character to help with line wraps and word breaks. Is this needed in the new NCV texts? It seems they have spaces included at certain places.
Chinese texts usually don't have spaces except after punctuation marks. I'll install NCV and take a look at the spaces it has.
I noticed this using the Hanzi dictionary which always tried to lookup a 'word' instead of an individual glyph.
I didn't do anything do make it lookup a 'word', in fact I don't know how to make it lookup an individual glyph only ;-). It is often not very useful to only look up one character (imagine looking up "foot" and "ball" vs. looking up "football". The first lets you someone guess the meaning, but the second gives the exact information). So it should be possible to select a few characters and look them up in the dictionary with the mouse or keyboard. However, for "standard lookup" (ie. without text being selected) looking up the current character only instead of the whole 'word' probably would be more useful, since with most modules the 'word' is going to be the whole line.
Greetings, Christian
