Book Designer font help LRF's

babyd · 08-19-2008, 09:31 AM

HI Guys

I am trying to convert some books ready for getting my new Sony 505 in Sept............

So far I have only been using the default font and it has all been fine.

I have just been experimenting with embedding fonts, but have come across a strange issue.........some export as lrf's okay, but some when loaded into the sony software appear in italics. I have not told them to be italics, and the setting in BD sony reader format is normal.

For instance, Goudy Old Style and Garamond stay normal, but Palatino Linotype and Gentium appear italic after conversion............

Any idea why some fonts just go italic and some stay true?

Hi...
I 've had this problem and haven't found any normal solution.
After finishing the book edition, I save all and close BookDesigner.
Then I open it again and generate the LRF. The fonts look fine, at least with someone.
