I am trying to understand how my new Aura HD works with side loaded books
my test books all have embeedded fonts removed and all have standard 1em font size in CSS for text.
my 1st impressions are that I can change the font
size on the kobo very easily, but changing the font
family seems to have no effect
( even though I have checked that all embedded fonts have been removed from my test books)
is that a general principle ( i.e. do some sliders only work with kepubs - or does it depend on exactly what is in my epub book's CSS
some have a simple
font family:serif; setting
others have an explicit Times New Roman setting - I used to add this to improve bookview in sigil but I have not consistently added it to all books because it made no difference on my previous Sony e-readers>
I am also confused by the seeming lack of a global font -size setting on the Kobo aura HD. when I side-load a new book there seems no way to predict what font size will first appear, and no logic to where the sliders need to be to standardise across books.
So with 4 test books, I have the sliders in 4 different positions at present, even though each book is using font-size:1em for it's <p> tags
I am feeling very confused & wishing I'd stuck with a simpler model
more confusion:
I I select a test page of a book & cycle through the font options, the number of words per line and the font appearence stays the same, but the number of lines per page changes! - so if I go to Kobo font the line space is greater than say for Georgia. I guess each font has a (different) default line spacing and that IS being applied to the side loaded book, even though the actual font face is NOT changing.
