Also, there is no hyphenation. Basically, BF is not ready to be released until these features are added.

We used the recommended way by Apple to install custom fonts. Custom fonts are allowed and are used by many users. Once you install the font via system it will show up in the BookFusion app.

You can install a custom font using iFont or many other free font applications that allows you to install a custom font even if you already have the font file. https://apps.apple.com/sa/app/ifont-...t/id1173222289

https://support.apple.com/guide/ipho...%20tap%20Fonts.

Even Marvin displays App fonts and then System fonts where once the font is installed via System it displays it.

Hyphenation will be added. However, we will release the app as all features are not required for all readers. And as you said in a earlier post because an app does not have a feature does not mean we should not implement it. The same applies as well, just because an app has a feature does not mean it should be immediately implemented. We work with our readers to determine what features they want to see.

Previously we did not have much feedback from Marvin power users but we did have feedback from other Marvin users that did not require hyphenation. This is one of many for examples, https://www.reddit.com/r/BookFusion/...rvin_3_for_me/ . We also have positive reviews on the App Store that mention Marvin.

From reading past posts, it was stated that the community on mobile read discouraged the Marvin developer. The only thing we are trying to do here is build an app that has the features you want and is sustainable, yes it might not immediately have all the items on your list but give us the constructive feedback and let us try to hit them.

If the MobileRead community would prefer for us to make no effort then let us know and we will stop posting here.
