It looks like Moon+ reader is doing a better job of automatically providing a fall-back font for rendering the text - perhaps based on a font that is packaged as part of the Moon+ reader app.
I can't tell you exactly what is going on, unless you send me the EPUB file to examine (feel free to email me at jim@turnipsoft.co.uk if you like), but based on other samples of Devanagri scripts that I could find, I can suggest a work-around that might help. Basically, you need to tell Freda to use the 'Noto Sans' font, and ignore whatever other font choice the book might specify. Change the following two settings: - 'book style overrides Freda font selection' => no
- 'font' => Noto Sans
The 'Noto Sans' font is bundled with Freda, and includes a good range of Unicode code points. |
Thanks for your reply. I will check that out. The Noto family is my Android default for that reason, I guess I assumed Freda would use it if installed
