Bug ? Fonts dont change in ePub (2.1.4 Glo)
I don't know if it's been reported yet but I can't change the font on my ePub on my Kobo Glo 2.1.4.
I can select another font but nothing changes. Working fine with kepub though. Anyonre experiencing the same thing ? Any way to fix that ? I tried rebooting and restoring the device but it doesn't fix the problem. Last edited by DaMastah; 10-06-2012 at 06:05 AM. |

If this is a book that has a stylesheet altered by Calibre, go into "Look and Feel" in the conversion tab. Go down to Filter Style Information and check fonts (and margins if they are not adjusting). I have 32 drm free ePUBs on my Go at the moment and the fonts change on all of them. I did not have to make any changes on books that simply lost their DRM, but I did have to make the changes in Look and Feel on books that someone else had converted or altered in Calibre before I got them.

Also, don't forget that some books have embedded fonts that won't let you change them unless you run it through Calibre as per above post.

Works on the touch but not the glo? Sounds like a bug.

Turned out I was wrong.
The two books I was testing had embedded fonts. Quite a bad luck as these were the only ones in my library according to quality check. I removed the fonts and it works now as expected. Strangely enough, my touch works fine with the embedded fonts on these books... Anyway, thanks for your help ! |

Many Thanks I now have only one formatting issue that I have not been able to resolve and that is inconsistent bottom margins when viewing side-loaded books. Is this a common problem for others as well & is there a solution? |

Since I updated the look and feel as taming posted - I no longer have any issues modifying fonts, margins, etc. The only remaining issue is the bottom margin and that was a problem before I made the changes. |

I see. And I suppose there's no way to check which ePubs have embedded fonts/margins/etc from Calibre?
