All the necessary data is available at http://www.esperanto.mv.ru/Download/KompLeks/.

## Structure of the distribution

«Komputika Leksikono» is a hypertext in HTML. It is available in a variaty of character sets:

- Unicode (WGL4 or better) — the best option, if your browser is capable to present the required characters (e.g. under the Pan-European version of Win32 this can do MS-IE 4.1 and Netscape 4.1)
- Latin-3 — it handles the Esperanto letters properly
- Latin-1 — this is the standard WWW charset, in which the lacking esperantic letters are represented in `cxirkaù`-convention.

All the versions of the Lexicon are generated from one same source (a set of text files in Latin-3) with the help of a C program. You can either download a pregenerated set of HTML files in an appropriate encoding, or you can generate them from the sources; in the latter case you can generate HTML files in some other chasets, namely KOI-8 and ASCII.

The whole Lexicon shall reside in two folders:

1. an HTML folder, whose name is irrelevant (e.g.`KL`)
2. the folder `KL/BILDOJ`, the files whereof do not depend on charset and do not reference anything.

## Latin-3 fonts

under Unix
  one can use Latin-3 en X (W3, Netscape …):
  - In USA:
    ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/elisp/w3/fonts/iso-8859-3.tar.gz, ftp://ftp.cs.indiana.edu:/pub/elisp/w3/fonts/l3-tiparoj.tar.gz;
  - in Europe:
    ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/esperanto/fonts.dir/adobe3.tar.gz,
    ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/esperanto/fonts.dir/l3-tiparoj.tar.gz.
    The first package contains proportional fonts; the second, monospaced.
for Macintosh
  M. Urban has made two screen fonts available via
under MS-DOS
  you can use programs for EGA, VGA: ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/esperanto/fonts.dir/iloj.zip and a browser like Lynx (Linko).
under MS-Windows
  there are a few TrueType fonts, available at
  - http://esperanto.agoranet.be/courr_se.exe
  - http://esperanto.agoranet.be/times_se.exe
  - ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/esperanto/fonts.dir/lat3pttf.zip

Actually the Lexicon needs mostly those characters of Latin-3 which are also available in Latin-1 plus the accented Esperanto letters; i.e. one can use an ANSI character set modified so that it has the accented Esperanto characters in the positions defined for them in Latin-1. Such fonts can be downloaded from the FEL WWW-site.

Here is a test to check the rendering of the accented letters on your screen.
