However, the same files do not work on the Kobo Aura HD, and I was wondering if there is a different code or a similar method to get Chinese characters to show up in epubs on the Kobo Aura HD?
Help would be much appreciated. Thank you.  |
You might want to check the Modified Fonts sticky for more information (
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=204363).
Basic procedure is to create a folder called 'fonts' (without the quotes and it is case sensitive) in the root of the Aura's internal storage. Then add a font with Chinese characters -- I use Code2000 or if you have a Windows computer, Microsoft's Arial Unicode MS can be used. The font file name is critical as it must match the internal font family name -- the sticky has more information on this. After you have the font copied to the Aura, you
must power cycle the Aura. Open the ebook, use the menu to select your new font and happy reading.
The creator of Code2000 is no longer doing any support and the original website is gone so while finding the file is fairly easy, I've attached it to this message. It also has a minor advantage in that the font file name is already correct so no renaming is needed.
