amiri-slanted.ttf --> Amiri-Italic.ttf
amiri-bold.ttf --> Amiri-Bold.ttf
amiri-boldslanted.ttf --> Amiri-BoldItalic.ttf
That is all, no patching or font modification needed (for firmware 3.19.5761 at least.)
Edit: Note that this font displays the book titles in bold because it has incorrect PANOSE weights. That would need to be fixed if you want to use it for reading KePubs, but it seems to work okay in the ePub reader. |
This worked and it's simple. Thank you for your help and all the useful information.
