Wow, that's old, fw 3.1.1 must have something you
really want to keep
The Patcher for fw 3.1.1 didn't include the 'Un-force font-family override...' option as standard but you're in luck because I created one for myself and (hoarder that I am) I still have it. If you add the following to your kpg.conf file it should work
Code:
<Patch>
patch_name = `jackie_w Font family override (all devices)`
patch_enable = `yes`
replace_bytes = 1117F74, 2C 20 70, 20 20 20
</Patch>
N.B. As with all patches, this code is specific to fw 3.1.1
I've also attached a 1-page test epub you can use to test what's going on.
If your kobo_extra.css is working correctly:
- Before applying patch: The heading and paragraphs 3,4 should be displayed in your chosen monospace font (as specified in kobo_extra.css). Paragraph 1 would be in Amasis (if that's what you chose from the Font menu). Paragraph 2, I think should also be Amasis, or possibly Georgia (???) if the Kobo is confused and doesn't know what to use.
- After applying patch: The heading and paragraphs 2, 3, 4 should be displayed in monospace. Paragraph 1 would still be Amasis.
If this is not what you're seeing then feel free to report back with your findings. As luck would have it my husband is using an old Glo, running fw3.1.1. It's not that he's attached to it but he's definitely from the school of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. I applied the patch to the Glo when fw3.1.1 was current and the attached epub behaves as expected for me.
