To view these files properly, the following phonetic fonts must be installed on your system: SILManuscript IPA93 and SILSophia IPA93, available from SIL (free). Please consider the following as well: - These files were saved with old VTrain 2.0, which did not support Rich Text and hence accepted only one font per flashcard (side). Since the font used contains no question marks (etc.), the have been represented by a combination of diacritical marks. - Since these fonts contain characters under ASCII locations 127-160 and 173, they may produce certain errors in Windows applications. This is not a fault of VTrain or other programs, but of the fonts. Anyway, you are advised to save your <vok> file very often when you edit it in the Deck Edition mode (shortcut: CTRL + S). Sample:   car [ff] --- railway carriage / van automobile --- car [ff]
