Aldiko Font Rendering Engine
I'm not too hopeful that someone will be able to answer this but, well...
In Aldiko, if you go to settings and enable publisher formatting, the app will display the ebook in the font embedded in the epub file. I've found this particularly useful for creating epubs in a language that is not natively supported by the device.
Now, I've installed Aldiko on my first generation Kindle Fire and successfully read an epub file which was created with a Bengali font. I then took the same epub, ran it through KindleGen and created a mobi (output generated without errors) which also had the font embedded. This file, however, did not render correctly on the Kindle. Bengali is not officially supported on Kindle.
My question is which engine is rendering the font in Aldiko? Does Aldiko have an inbuilt font rendering engine or is it using the Kindle's rendering engine?
Any thoughts appreciated...
Cheers
Nabodita
