When a flashcard question or answer is too big for the available space the text will run over the flashcard border, into the space belonging to another card. The solution to this problem is to decrease the font size or increase the flashcard size. You can increase the flashcard size by setting less rows and columns per printed page (back-back-printing) or increasing the paper size for index card printing.
When you see a black square where a letter should be in your flashcard it means the font you have chosen does not have the glyph for the character in question and a black quare is being used as a placeholder. Try changing fonts-- Cyberbit is a good font for most languages.
If you get a message about your file being “damaged and could not be repaired” then you probably need to update Adobe Reader. Alternatively you can use a smaller, alternative PDF viewer such as Foxit Reader (windows) or the Document Viewer on OS X.
This can be an indication of font problems. Try a different font-- Cyberbit is a good font for most languages.
We are installing additional fonts when requested. If you need a specific font for the language you are studying please ask and we will see what we can do.
