I presume you have the downloadable edition.
In the CD-ROM edition (at least, the one for Windows), the texts
always come from images with a fixed width... and with the longer
fields in the Times, the Roman text gets smaller and smaller the
longer the text is, but the pIqaD stops getting smaller after a point
and the end is simply truncated. There's nothing to scroll since
there's no text - it's an image. And what's beyond the edge of the
image can only be recovered by the person who created the image in the
first place going to his master Photoshop-or-whatever file :(
The CD-ROM edition also didn't require Adobe AIR (again, at least on
Windows); it was written in Delphi, I believe.
Cheers,
Philip
