Does anyone know if there's a way to get a section of "monospaced" text in BD? Quite often in books there are sections of the text which need to be displayed monospaced - eg lists which have to "line up" - but I can't find any way of achieving this is BD. In some of my books I've resorted to doing "screen dumps" from "Notepad" and including those as graphics, but there must a better way :grin:.

I've tried doing it by setting one of the BD styles - eg "epigraph" - to use the "Courier" font, but this doesn't seem to work - I still end up with a proportional font in the final book.

Anyone have an answer to this?

Both Dutch and Swiss are proportional fonts. Courier is a monospaced font.

In Make eBooks|Sony Reader click on the Styles tab and select one of the existing Courier paragraph styles for your use or (easier) set the ones you use to Courier.

That's exactly what I've tried doing - setting the "Epigraph" style to use Courier, and then marking the text I want to be monospaced as "Epigraph". Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work - the text still comes out with a proportional font in the final book.

Part of the problem is that the name of the Courier font is incorrect in the style page. You can embed a courier font if you want and that should work. The font name is Courier10 BT Roman and BD has it as Courier 10 Pitch Win95BT. That doesn't work.

P.S. I just tried embedding Courier and it worked fine.

Excellent - thanks!

Sorry, folk: the list of Reader's inner fonts in styles has been made for Readers wth cyrillic support where Courier 10 Pitch Win95BT is used.

If you want I can add Courier10 BT Roman to the list as 4-th font. But I am afraid that it will provoke more confusions...

Yes - please do add it; it would be a big help, and it won't be confusing for those of us who now know the reason for it!

Please add it, I feel the confusion will be less than the frustration.

It would mean not having to embed a font that the reader actually has native.
