Options of the non-embedding variety, tend to be slightly different by ereader brand/model, e.g. the 'Kobo way' is slightly different to the 'Sony way' (although they are all variations on the same theme). As the plugin you referenced seems to refer to the mid-2011 Nook, I'd be quite surprised if the non-embedding options would work on a current Kobo. However, I haven't used the plugin and you have so I may be wrong 
When you have such a custom-font-friendly device as a Kobo, it seems a shame to have to resort to embedding fonts. To use the Kobo's own font customisation feature, it's usually enough to remove any hard-coded references to font-family from the epub internal css using Sigil or calibre Tweak Book or JohnF's step 3. This pre-supposes your epub no longer has DRM, though.
If you need any help with a specific non-DRM epub feel free to PM me and I'll try to walk you through it. |
I chose to use the system fonts. That way all the fonts I add to my KG are up for use if I so choose to use them. Also it seemed to be the best option for me at any rate.
But If I do have any questions I will most definitely check in with you .
