I usually strip the CSS from my ebooks to make them play better with my footer settings. But maybe I'll try experimenting with embeding fonts at some point. I've just upgraded to 3.11 and patched the footer settings to my liking so I'm good for now. Though I do see the benefit to your method. Thanks again for your help.
The only "but" there is.. you have to be consequent... I use calibre to insert the font and extra .css lines and I did it on every book. (more then 2000 now but a lot of new ones are waiting to be added to )
Because in the beginning (no not from the bible.. I mean in my beginning) I got a sony prs-505 and my GF a Bebook mini,and she was always complaining that books on my 505 looks better then on her Bebook because the 505 was patched so I always ended up changing the books because her bebook could not be patched.
She has now my old sony 650, and I went by the Sony prs-t1,t2 and t3 and from there to Kobo.
I still patch my kobo's but only to get them full page and prevent it from updating,and the line page xx of xx pages.
The rest is done in the books, so I can change to any reader I want,the books are always the same, and I only sideload my e-books.
Once in a while I add new books to calibre,do a bulk conversion,and I added 2 colums telling me if I have read the book or not.
Because I converted all the books in the beginning,it never matters how the reader handles it (until certain height) it wil always be the same.
Lately I got a book of 3 MB only to find out that the cover itself was more then 2 MB.. I use the resolution for my Aura HD as guideline and convert all covers into that resolution,and make them 16 shades gray... it changed including the amasis font into one sized 300 KB, I do keep a copy of the original.
