Step 2: Dictionary theme file.

You can customize the dictionary theme file with the LWUIT resource editor in many ways. For instance, you can create a bitmap font and include it into the theme file. The procedure is rather straightforward. You select a font installed on your system, its size and style, anti-aliasing method and define a character set that needs to be included in the bitmap font. For example, the character set of TuraGSM Sans Condensed I used is reproduced below. Note that the last character in the charset is a space (U+0020).
