Kindle Voyage - Embedded font problems

voyagerreader · 03-30-2015, 02:47 PM

The book that i want to read contains 5 different fonts which are;

OIBR___0.TTF

OIBR___2.TTF

OIBR___4.TTF

OIBR___6.TTF

times.ttf

My KV can't display them properly.For instance first apostrophe looks like 'Y', last one looks normal. 'diwan' word (which is written with another font type that i can't paste here and show you) displays like 'dÐwÁn' (exactly the same with KV displays).

How to handle this? Can't KV display more than one font in a text? Am i suppose to read books which is written with the fonts KV support only? Is it possible to add new fonts to KV?

P.S: Kindle Touch was working properly with the same book.

Can you post a sample ebook that displays this problem?

It would be best, I think, if you replied in the thread

there is nothing personal enough to require a Private Message.

Can you open the book in the calibre editor, delete all the chapters except one, and then Save As => a copy. Post that extract here (you can attach files in the "Go Advanced" reply mode) so we can try to duplicate your problem, or at least see the code that might be causing the problem.

I thought you wanted me to send the whole book. (or another free book that contains 5 fonts)

Why are you posting an ePub book when this is a Kindle question?

Not a big deal to convert it after the main problem is solved i assume.

Now do you want to help?
