+<h2>Dictionary data</h2>
+Most dictionary data comes from http://wiktionary.org. If you want
+to add or fix an entry, please do it there.
+<h2>Important notes</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>If QuickDic seems to crash when opening a dictionary
+(especially on Sony Ericsson devices), it's probably a problem
+loading the embedded font. Try opening QuickDic's preferences and
+changing the font to "System default."</li>
