Non-Mono-Fontified Mobi output?

brewt · 01-10-2010, 02:39 PM

Yes, I know; a Kindle only has 1 font.

But I'm reading in (real) MobiPocketReader, which supports multiple fonts, at least on PC and PocketPC.

Do I just not see how to get Calibre's mobi output to render with multiple fonts? Like, Serif for body text and san-serif for headlines?

Why would you use MOBI on anything but a kindle? IIRC the mobi output will pass through different font family declarations in the input.

Bein' all a cheapskate and all as I get to be: no Kindle for me.

CSS:

Quote:

.BodyText {font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;}
h1 {font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;}
.PlainText {font-family:"Courier New";}

produces differing-appearing fonts in epubs, but Calibre's mobi output is all serifed all the time.
MobiCreator has different fonts on output with the same call (but has the inconvenience of generally different-looking output from the same code. I actually prefer the way calibre handles sizing over MobiCreator)

Not that I mind all that much - it just gets my attention.

Dictionary support.

Open a ticket, I personally don't care enough about this feature to implement it, but maybe someone else does.
