I used Calibre to convert a LIT file and for some reason all the italics were removed. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong?

Okay, I'll take this advice as a sign that you really don't have to do something extra to make sure italics/bolded survive the conversion process. I'm going to test again tonight and open a ticket like you advise. thanks. |

Update on missing italics. When I saved the LRF to disk and viewed using the Sony Connect Software all the italics were there. Earlier I was viewing the new LRF files via the Calibre LRF viewer and for some reason non of the italics were showing there. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.

Odd. Probably just the fonts in the LRF viewer make it look like its not italic?

I've just viewed a book with Calibre's LRV viewer and I get italics just fine. Could it be that whatever font the viewer is using that there is no italic version to go with it?

this might not be quite the correct place to pose this question (which might have come up before?) but it's relevant to the current discussion.. anyways, I noticed that when I replaced the Windows/Font versions of ttm****.ttf or whatever the Sony default fonts were with my Korean-ified versions, Calibre displays a bizarre different font for Korean in the lrf viewer and in the Calibre gui. It's definitely not the one that my Reader now uses (After the unicode patch). Things show up fine in the reader, but I was wondering why Calibre shows a different font than the one I used in the Sony Reader, in the Reader directory, and in the Windows Fonts directory. Is there someplace in calibre I'm supposed to replace fonts in as well?

yeah calibre has a private copy of the fonts. Unfortunately replacing them in non-trivial.

edited to add: forgot to add the LIT files I'm using look like Times New Roman and in the viewer that's what I'm seeing. For some reason it's not converting the fonts to Arial. But I'd think that Times New Roman would show italics. |

I dont embed fonts, I find the hit in page turn times to be too great.

I find that the "sort by author" is not working properly. I am using 0.4.80 version of calibre. Is this a known issue?
