I'm looking into finding fonts that work for Macs (see shanrina's comment), which accounts for the the n/d combination problem; I knew what it should look like. I didn't think about the nasalization dot-- that could work.

How long have you had Rosetta Stone? It looks so SHORT, like it won't last me long. What's your experience? As I say, my students use the English version, and that one takes them... well, forever, even if -- if the damn thing were well-networked, or our crappy laptops were better at picking up the signals from our weak-assed hub -- they used it for fifty minutes a day. And they don't even use all the different components. I didn't even really KNOW there were different versions of each lesson -- audio, text, and pictures; just audio and pictures; just text and pictures; picking out the correct text (="writing", ha); and a sort of rudimentary speaking portion with a vocal waveform, which makes me laugh. I assume the English version of Rosetta Stone is gigantic and has multiple levels, unlike the Hindi.

Have you completed the whole program? Also... do you have any experience with the online version? Has it got more material? What's the difference?
