Please could someone explain the following to me.
The same HTML file looks different on a Sony PRS-505 depending on whether you convert to LRF or EPUB. In particular:-
1. Regular/Bold text. There is hardly any difference in appearance between regular and bold in LRF, but bold in EPUB has much better contrast. (EPUB better).
2. Monospace text. LRF looks pretty good (nice and dark), but EPUB is a wishy-washy grey. (LRF better)
3. Small Caps. Displayed OK in LRF, but just looks like regular text in EPUB. (LRF better)
4. Strikethrough. Displayed OK in EPUB, but just looks like regular text in LRF. (EPUB better).
I have not embedded any fonts in the file - at least not knowingly. The relevant bits of my CSS are:-
body {font-size:12pt; font-family:"Times New Roman", serif; }
p {font-size:100%; }
span.monospace {font-family:"Courier New", monospace; }
span.smallcaps {font-variant:small-caps; }
I would be very grateful for any help. I would like to start experimenting with font-embedding but not until I understand the basics, which I obviously don't!
Regards.
