The Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English file can be found here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/262709904/LongmanPack.zipThis dictionary uses AWLPhonetics3U.TTF to show pronunciation. GoldenDict cannot render these fonts correctly.

The previous link seems to be broken. The following one should work.

You can try creating ~/.goldendict/article-style.css and putting there
- Code: Select all
body
{
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, "Lucida Sans Unicode", sans-serif, "<Your font name>";
}
The font should be accessible system-wide.

The problem is: when I install this font into my Linux, I can see the pronunciation font format being changed. (The default font is san-serif, but this font is serif so I know it). These normal English characters are correct, but other specific characters like ɛ and ǝ cannot be rightly rendered.
I also added the ccs file as you suggested, but it does not work.

Do File|Save article (F2) and check if the resulting html looks equally bad in a real browser. If so, please attach it.

It's still incorrect. I attached the output html file here.
Actually, some of the other parts of the page, which are supposed to be blanks, were also rendered incorrectly.

There is another dictionary whose word pronunciations cannot be shown correctly either. It uses another font: Kingsoft Phonetic. I checked the output html file. They are correct. The Chinese translation part of the output are also rendered incorrectly.
The dictionary file can be downloaded here:
