On Kindle Fire, I noticed yesterday that copying the bookerly fonts from thetablet system fonts folder ( where Amazon put them) into the mantano reader app fonts folder only partially works.
In mantano, bookerly displays OK for normal and for italic, but not for bold. any bold text displays as normal. Selecting any other font shows the same bold text as bold, so it is not a book coding issue.
after mucho testing e.g. trying the same 4 bookerly font ttf fiels on PCi, also. removing and re-adding to mantano I conclude that there is some glitch either in the internal naming in the bookerly-Bold.ttf or in mantano's handling of it.
When it is included in the mantano fonts folder. mantano shows an extra unnamed font in its theme-list of available fonts selection (and that blank name font is actually the bookerly bold) - if I select that no name font I get bold everywhere.
the bug seems specific to bookerly - I have added other fonts e.g. caecilia , droid serif to mantano using the exact same process - by adding t 4 x ttf and they are fine
i suppose I need to find a 3rd reader app that I can add bookerly to, in order to prove whether the problme is with mantano reader app( as I supsect) or with the ttf ?
