Hi, dpoon73

I owe you a thank you! If you might remember a few messages back, I mentioned that when I copied the renamed JhengHei font to my Kobo, it didn't work properly. I did some more digging and found that, for unknown reasons, about half the fonts in my fonts directory were corrupted. Oddly, I could use the Windows Font Viewer and it didn't show any problems but if I set the default font to one of the corrupted fonts and opened several ebooks using ADE, I either saw a collection of error messages or a ebook that was displayed in random characters. On the Kobo, it simply wouldn't use the corrupted fonts though no stackxx.log error files were generated.

Weird and wonderful toys, these computers.

One question is when you open an ebook using the Chinese language fonts, is it very slow to open?
Regards,
David
