Different fonts for different books

ashadocat · 12-19-2008, 12:11 AM

is there any way to specify what font to use with a certain book? I want my copy of the necronomicon to use this font... searched to no avail

Ha... had you had a Cybook and that was really easy.

Wit the 505 you can have 2 approaches:

a) change the default fonts - in the forums you get the explanation to do that;
b) embeb the font in the file if you can edit the eBook - it looks one can do that (at least) with the 3 main formats the 505 reads (ePub, PDF and Lrf).

This is probably a stupid question, but why on earth would you want to read something with that horrible looking font? Would make my eyes start bleeding after 2 pages

But as Harriman said, you can if you want too

The point of the necronomicon is to make your eyes start bleeding

really just to show of though.

Create a pdf file with embeded font.
Remember to set page size 90x115mm

You can use OpenOffice.org Writer to create pdf file.

As a third option, with ePub books you can load additional fonts onto the reader and link to them from the book without having to embed them separately in each book. See this thread.
