Hi, No, "two byte" fonts are a thing of the past. Bookends (and all modern apps) use Unicode now. As it happens, the characters I used to diagnose the problem actually used three bytes each. In any case, the issue was the way in which Bookends creates indexes and how it determines word bo...

Hi, I think I've tracked down this issue with Live Search, and the fix will be in the next update. Note that because of how text is indexed certain Asian characters are treated as whole words. In these instances, Bookends will find a reference containing the character even if it appears in the midd...

CJK text and 'live' searches via main search field

(Please note that this post has been moved from the diacritics and search thread) A question for all of you that use CJK text frequently. I use Chinese and Japanese source material quite frequently and have a number of these sources in Bookends. I've noticed that I am unable to consistently perform ...

Hi, Yes, this should be a different thread. Perhaps you can start a new one (I can't do that for you)? I will simply point out here that the live search and the Find use the same indices, so there should be no problem there. The live search just updates in real time (which is why it "grabs&quo...

CJK searches

I have a related question, though perhaps this should be in a new thread or considered a tech support issue... I use Chinese and Japanese source material quite frequently and have a number of these sources in Bookends. I've noticed that I am unable to consistently perform a search trying to input CJ...

Hi, The CrossRef doi resolver just gets you to the article on the publisher's site, at least as far as I can see (Bookends already allows you to get to the article if you have the doi). I don't see a central source of citation information though. You know, a tagged (or at least uniform) list of the...

Hi, Thanks for the info. I looked at journals.cambridge.org, and although I can see the reference information for a particular book, it's not in a tagged format, so importing becomes problematic (plus, it could change at any time, as there is no API). In addition, assuming there are other sites lik...
