CoolReader new version

That sounds a great idea!, because user can control the shaded text and note! Verify also if there is a limit on how many notes in that "note list"(like bookmarks list), but I am using it! I have to get used to it...

I think I will make a list of notes similar to the bookmarks list and you will be able to go to the location of the note and remove it from the list (this will deselect text in the book). Maybe some later these lists will be united with Table of contents I don't know yet.

I just realized that I cannot change the font in the plain text file(.txt) and some type of epub file in cr3. I tried new version of cr3 and it is the same. It looks like `Default font face` option is not set for .txt files.
A few of epub file has the same problem, changing the default font of cr3 affects only chapters and titles while the main text font is unchanged.

BTW I am using PB902 with fw 2.1.1 (alpha) with CR 0.5-4

@atango, I had problems changing the font both on FBreader and coolreader with the 2.1.1. firmware. Meaning, I'd change the settings but the display stayed the same. It only worked with some epubs, I didn't try with txt.

I think it might be a 2.1* bug, since I have rolled back to the 2.0.4 firmware and everything is working fine now.

You're probably right with your suspicion that it's abug in new FW, but at least for CR3 I don't expect PB to fix it, because it's 3rd party app, so why should they, and I'm afraid the same is true for fbreader, although it comes already installed.
Nontheless it's strange that there are no problems with fbreader180 by GreyNM, at least not in this department

ah, of course, now I finally got it! thanks, feel so dumb

yes, it was me, now I can make it work - and of course I was not asking for stylus operation, I am so very grateful for the fact that you are porting this for free!

Having said that, I see you have a PB360: I guess it would be a major thing to make Coolreader allow for page turning with a flick of a wrist, right? Hey, just kidding

I prefer CR to FBreader and I am very grateful for the effort put into porting CR. I have managed to change the font and the margin in CR, though I found the latter tricky. I haven't, however, figured if it's possible to increase the indent in CR. Is it?

Both fbreader and fbreader180 has no problem of changing fonts with both txt and specific epub in fw 2.1.1. I think I never tried to change fonts in txt file in cr3 when I was using fw 2.0.x. So I am not sure whether it is related with fw. Someone who use fw 2.0.x and recent version of cr3 can confirm it with txt files.

I can also confirm the problem exists with 2.1.X and EPUB files, using 2.0.4 was no problem at all. Can't speak for 2.0.5 or 6 because I never used them

I understand why you can't change font face for some epub files but it is strange that you can't do that for .txt files. May I ask you to send me a log file?

In order to do that You will need to create crlog.ini file in the system/share/cr3 directory in the internal memory of the book with the following content:

crengine.log.filename=/mnt/ext1/system/share/cr3/crengine.log
crengine.log.autoflush=false
crengine.log.level=TRACE

Please open any .txt file and try to change the font and quit after that. In the system/share/cr3 should appear crengine.log file, please send it to me and remove crlog.ini to turn logging off.

I think it shouldn't be difficult to do since it is already implemented in fbreader180 and it is open source.

How did you change margin and why was it tricky? About indent, I guess you can change text-indent property in the css file, see below fragment from fb2.css

p { 
   text-align: justify; 
   text-indent: 1.2em; 
   margin-top:0em; 
   margin-bottom: 0em 
  }

CR3 doesn't work with the crlog.ini file in system/share/cr3.

Hm, used to work for me. I will check it later today. Can you try another filename, for example /mnt/ext1/crengine.log ?

No luck, I tried to save /mnt/ext1 and /mnt/ext2 (my sd card) and still CR3 refuse to open documents. Maybe it is related with fw 2.1.1.
