Mobigen fallback monospace font-family on kindle -- possible?

rjnagle · 07-05-2021, 05:48 PM

I know that you can set a fallback option for Kindle devices. ie., by using a generic font declaration:

Code:

 p {font-family: "Georgia", serif}

Can you do the same for monospace fonts that will work on Kindles?

Code:

 p.monospace {font-family: "Courier", monospace}

It has never occurred to me that this Kindle might support a fallback option for monospace font-family; that would be handy.

Has anyone tried using monospace font as a fallback family for Kindle?

Finally, is there any way to specify a generic font-family in the Kindle Create tool (ie Serif, Sans Serif, Monospace) without having to embed anything? Thanks.

Never mind. I see the answer here in the PUblishing guidelines:

Code:

Kindle also supports a monospaced font. Content in the following tags will be rendered in monospaced
font: <pre>, <code>, <samp>, <kbd>, <tt>, <font face="courier">, <font
face="monospace">.
