To be fair to all those users (including me). There was no mention
that LHelp is only meant for Lazarus and FPC documentation. Is is said
to be a CHM help viewer, so we use it as such. Especially Linux users
that might have Windows apps installed and running via WINE.

But a option in LHelp to switch rendering engines would be good for
compatibility. Alternatively simply point them to the Firefox add-on
which allows Firefox to read CHM files directly. All viewing problems
solved - but then still lacks searching and Index support.
