Hello again Jon and Dion,
Jon: are you speaking of the errors that Dion mentioned? I am beginning to see the differences required for e-pubs over websites and it is likely that there are other problems in the complete css. What I will do therefore is to strip back the css to just what is needed and add back if later books need something additional. It would be helpful if you were to show me the errors; after all I am making them, how am I going to spot them? It's like trying to find the correct spelling for a word you don't know the correct spelling for.
Dion: No specified font.
First are you saying that
.f {font-family: "Times", "Times New Roman", serif;}
should be deleted?
And also the naming of the font in the case of size classes:
.f4 {font: 1.1667em "Times", "Times New Roman", serif;}
The question then becomes what about exotic diacriticals? There are only a few fonts that I am aware of that have the full set that I will need.
Amazon may forbid it, but the font came out as specified on the Kindle and also on the Kobo with the e-pub format. Again there, the problem was not the font, it was the spacing.
Just to note: The idea that the reader can re-design my books is repellant to me in the extreme! I have been in publishing since 1959 and old thinking dies hard. I have designed many textbooks and scientific books and the idea that someone could come along and change the font and sizing would be just crazy destructive to meaning as well as looks. Book design is an art, like other arts. Would it be reasonable to tell Rembrandt to change black to white? But I guess this is a battle long lost.
Not having a good day here. Tried to post this and am being told that I am not logged in whereas I am logged in and it says so right above this box.
Logged in again and it froze the forum for me. Logged out, logged back in; no post. But I eventually do catch on and had saved it. Try again now. Let's see.
