Are you trying to produce the following effect at the top of the Article page?

 

 

 

There may be a better way to do it. I got the above by adapting one of the lines from near the bottom of the Sandbox page.

I hope that this helps.

Best wishes for the project.

• Yes I was trying to do that in a less intrusive way. If you can produce the some thing with the size at the page please go ahead.

There are already books in Amharic

Books already exist in the Amharic language but they cannot be used in education because the cost of printing more copies and transporting them to where the kids are, is prohibitive. If only existing books could be used in an ebook reader, then infinite copies could be made and only one ebook reader needs to be distributed, not a hundred books. The OLPC is that ebook reader and using Evince with its support for DJVU format, enables existing paper books to be scanned and distributed with the OLPC. No special fonts are needed to support the minority languages. Even handrwitten books can be scanned and distributed this way.

• That is a very good point. Can you develop on that idea and provide us with ways to include in to the project.
