access fonts externally

JSWolf · 11-28-2014, 10:31 PM

On Sony Readers, it's possible to install fonts in a directory on the Reader and access them from CSS code. This works very well.

Is there a way to do this with Kobo using ePub and if so, what's the CSS code for this? I know you can select a font for the eBook to use. But it's when I want to use multiple fonts that I want to be able to specify external fonts.

The eBook I'm reading, I'm using two fonts and this would have to embed if I cannot access these fonts externally.

It has been discussed here but I don't remember the conclusion. My memory says that you were involved in the discussion. A search should find it, but, I'd suggest the font sticky as a starting point.

Thank you for that. I did find the thread with the information. I think it should be listed in the tweaks/hacks/mods sticky.
