But can you clarify something for me that is not clear from the user manual.
There is the idea of a theme which stores pretty much every preference except a font size. it stores your choice of font family, your margins, your line spaces etc.
But font size has it's own separate control - so is that stored on a per-book basis. i.e. if i tweak font size with gestures in one book ,then go back to some other book, does the change carry over - I think not ? ( whereas in moon reader & in Kobo, whatever you do to font size affects all of your books ? )
I was also surprised by the lack of fonts - it installs with only one font and the
download fonts option delivers only a bunch of odd looking ones that I've not heard of.
I seem to have gotten around it by finding where the tablet stashes its system fonts and copying some of those into the mantano fonts folder, but I'm surprised they don't make that a little less geeky ?
meanwhile back with the ( now less impressive) moon reader. 3 questions here
1. this app has the standard concepts of
font family and
font size, but it also has something that it calls
font scale. can you enlighten me on the difference between
size &
scale please & how that latter is meant ot be used. (or am I better advised to leave it well alone ! )
2. it seems to have it's own fixed ideas of what the relative size of h1, h2 etc tags should render at. So most headings appear bigger than expected and I think that any font-size that I specified in CSS for the H tags is being ignored. Is that what is actually happening ?
3, What does it do with blockquote tags - it seems to ignore indents & margins in CSS for those , so any book that makes extensive use of blockquotes is going to get oversimplified ?
finally a general one about mantano being based on adobe RMSDK. How do I relate that to ADE versions ? I am aware of some differences between ADE 1.7 and ADE 2.0 on PC, and I also , in my Sony-using days, became aware of the adobe renderer in the Sony T3 being different to that in the Sony T2 & earlier models. e.g. the older models did not do hyphenation.
|So a
for dummies explanation of the various adobe flavors would help me. IS mantano using the same renderer as ADE v2.0 ?
