Original file font + E-reader native fonts - not possible?
Hi,
Could anyone help me with this one, please:
Whenever an e-book I read came with its own embedded fonts, I like to keep those, to keep the ebook close to the original print version. Most of the time these are serif-type fonts.
However, when the light is poor and/or my eyes are tired, I would like to be able to shift to a thicker font, such as "Frutiger Neue" on my Sonys (T2 and T3). Most of the time just shifting from the original thin serif font to a thicker sans-serif does the job, without necessarily having to increase font size.
However, when I try to modify the *.CSS file, by adding either the generic sans-serif or the more specific "Frutiger Neue", my Sony would still stick to the original font, refusing to shift to the sans-serif font.
What am I doing wrong? Is there some recommended order of these fonts? Some writing convention that I ignore?
Here's an example of the change I made:
Original:
font-family: "GenBas";
My change:
font-family: "GenBas", "Frutiger Neue", sans-serif;
In brief: I would like GenBas to be visible as Default (Original font) as well as some sans-serif, as Frutiger Neue (ont native to Sony). The alterations in the CSS don't seem to work.
Thanks!
