Well, I decided to upload a pic of Berling Antiqua. I don't know how you guys are getting such crisp images with a scanner. The screen is a bit out of focus on mine as it is further away from the plate.

I get the same fuzzy screen scan on my home scanner. I use the big photocopier (can do A3 paper) at work to scan; it must have better optics.

One thing I can get from using ePub is that I can get true italics, true bold, true bold/italics, true smallcaps. From LRF, everything but the normal font is simulated. Oh and age turns with embedded fonts in ePub as a lot faster then with LRF.

This is only for the Sony Readers. I tried on my EZ Reader (Hanlin V3) and it does not accept fonts in /Data or /home. I think others have tried on the Cybook Opus without success.

I have a problem of reading epub with ADE on Windows XP. I created an EPUB file with embedded font. It works. Then I want to remove the embedded font to save storage space, so, by imitating some post in this thread, I tried with the lines in "stylesheet.css":
Code:
src : url(res:///c:/WINDOWS/FONTS/MSJH.ttf) format("truetype"); Code:
src : url(file:///c:/WINDOWS/FONTS/MSJH.ttf) format("truetype"); What am I missing? Last edited by ericshliao; 10-11-2009 at 07:20 PM. |

You have to use this resource reference inside of a font-face instruction, as in my :
Code:
@font-face {font-family: "Caecilia", serif;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;src: url(res:///Data/fonts/CaeciliaLTStd-Roman.otf);} @font-face {font-family: "Caecilia", serif;font-weight: bold; font-style: normal;src: url(res:///Data/fonts/CaeciliaLTStd-Bold.otf);} @font-face {font-family: "Caecilia", serif;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/CaeciliaLTStd-BoldItalic.otf);} @font-face {font-family: "Caecilia", serif;font-weight: normal;font-style: italic; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/CaeciliaLTStd-Italic.otf);} @font-face {font-family: "FontinSans", sans-serif;font-weight: normal;font-style: normal;src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin_Sans_R_45b.otf);} @font-face {font-family: "FontinSans", sans-serif;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin_Sans_B_45b.otf);} @font-face {font-family: "FontinSans", sans-serif;font-weight: bold;font-style: italic;src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin_Sans_BI_45b.otf);} @font-face {font-family: "FontinSans", sans-serif;font-weight: normal;font-style: italic;src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin_Sans_I_45b.otf);} Hope this helps, Dave. |

In fact, I have set @font-face{} in "stylesheet.css". I can create epub ebook with embedded font without any problem. In my previous post, I just cited the "src: url..." part because I thought it's the only relevant facor. Last edited by ericshliao; 10-12-2009 at 09:14 AM. |

Ok, my mistake.
You'll have to check that the file path is correct, including any capitalization problem specific to Windows (which is known for not showing the file names with their proper capitalization). Also, I didn't know about the format("truetype") part ; is it possible that this would cause a problem ? In fact I never needed it, ADE is fully capable of distinguishing between TT and OTF font types by itself... This would require some trial and error ; I may be able to help if you want, feel free to send me a private message so we can arrange for a transfer of your example file. Cheers, Dave. |
