Do you mind sharing the names of the fonts then so that I could download them and use in my Nook.

Well I think you are now the most unwelcome person for Sony as you have just saved my Nook's going to wastebin and ruin Sony's hope to sell one more Sony unit to me as I am proceeding now with my Nook. Well, this is my mom's, I will consider a Sony for myself, I promise

Yes guys, if anyone follows my threads in many blogs up to this point, my issue has been cleverly resolved by this gentlemen, jackie_w... I truly owe him a lot.

My problem turned out to be lack of a proper codepage utilisation. When I choose cp1254 for Turkish (jackie_w says it is cp1252 for English windows users) everthing worked out perfectly. cp1254 should be chosen in Calibre under Common Options/Look and Feel/Input Character Encoding.

As part of the solution the ExtraCSS block in Calibre also turned out to be:
Code:
@font-face {
font-style: italic;
font-family: 'LiberationSerif', serif, sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
src: url('res:///system/media/sdcard/my fonts/LiberationSerif-Italic.ttf');
}
@font-face {
font-style: normal;
font-family: 'LiberationSerif', serif, sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
src: url('res:///system/media/sdcard/my fonts/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf');
}
@font-face {
font-style: italic;
font-family: 'LiberationSerif', serif, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
src: url('res:///system/media/sdcard/my fonts/LiberationSerif-BoldItalic.ttf');
}
@font-face {
font-style: normal;
font-family: 'LiberationSerif', serif, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
src: url('res:///system/media/sdcard/my fonts/LiberationSerif-Bold.ttf');
}
body {
margin-right: 8pt;
font-family: 'LiberationSerif', serif;
}
I hope this is helpful.

Many thanks again Jackie_W!
