Question regarding dependencies

[TimBenderSLS]

Hi Mike,

I am advising some friends on setting themselves up in pleco, and ran into two questions.

First, is the stroke order addon or any other addon nessecary to take full advantage of the classical chinese dictionaries and rare characters within?

Second, is the flashcard app nessecary to load already created/compiled user dictionary files?

Thank you!

Tim

Stroke order: no - it was in 2.x, since it was the only way to render some rare characters, but in 3.x we have a separate non-BMP Chinese font which will render everything that we don't have embedded 造字 images for.

Flashcards: yes - can't do anything related to user dictionaries without that add-on.
