Where are the font files on this device?
Hi,
I need to change some characters (Japanese ō like in Shōgun, Rōnin and some other words) in a ePub I got, but have no idea how to do it. It seems that I need some fonts or whatever but on my reader I cannot find the fonts directory. Any help is appreciated. Mike |

The built in font are embedded into the firmware. I know that on the 505 you can change the default font but that involves modding the firmware and reflashing it.
Epub file will take CSS codes that can specify fonts. For example I have Caecilia font in a folder called 'fonts' I created and when I convert my ebooks in calibre I use the code: Code:
@font-face { font-family: 'Caecilia', serif, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; src:url(res:///Data/fonts/CaeciliaLTStd-Roman.otf) } @font-face { font-style: italic; font-family: 'Caecilia', serif, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; src:url(res:///Data/fonts/CaeciliaLTStd-Italic.otf) } @font-face { font-style: italic; font-family: 'Caecilia', serif, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; src:url(res:///Data/fonts/CaeciliaLTStd-BoldItalic.otf) } @font-face { font-style: normal; font-family: 'Caecilia', serif, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; src:url(res:///Data/fonts/CaeciliaLTStd-Bold.otf) } body { font-family: "Caecilia", serif; } |

It seems like a great idea. So, if I understood, I have to create Fonts folder, put inside some font and create a CSS file. Is it correct?
Where should I create a.CSS file (root, some folder...) and what name should I give it (if specific one is needed)? Thanks. P.S. Can I use any font type I have on my PC? Last edited by mikij; 08-06-2010 at 05:54 PM. |

I found answers to my questions in some other threads. Then I applied your script with my font (verdana) and it worked!
Just a note, I found also that simple quotes should be replaced with double quotes, what I did. |

1) Search for a font that normally displays your characters (try it in MS Word or any other application). 2) Find that font in Windows directory (typically C:\WINDOWS\Fonts) example: Georgia Find the following files - georgia.ttf (georgia, normal style) - georgiab.ttf (georgia bold) - georgiaz.ttf (georgia bold italic) - georgiai.ttf (georgia italic) 3) Connect your Reader 4) Open reader in Windows (as a drive) 5) if it does not exist, at root directory, create "font" directory (no quotes) 6) copy the font files from C:\WINDOWS\Fonts to "font" directory on reader 7) Use the css as in Evi1d33d's post. Replace "Caecilia" by the name of your font (replace single quotes in script by double quotes, if necessary) 8) Copy the script to clipboard or save to a file 9) Open Calibre 10) Select the book you need to convert to ePub and click "Convert books" button 11)In "Look and Feel" section, find the section "Extra CSS" 12) Paste here the script from clipboard 13) Set font sizes, if necessary 14) Click on OK 15) When finished, transfer the ePub to your reader 16) Enjoy your ebook If everything works, you can copy/paste the script in Preferences..Conversion...Extra CSS so it will be used for all conversions. Hope it helps. |
