PRS+ Help .. regarding fonts
I have a Sony PRS 600 and have installed PRS+ software.
I want to change the normal font to another one. I have looked at all the relevant threads and its confusing. Some say put fonts on the root \fonts folder on the Sony PRS 600 and some threads say put them in /database/system/PRSPlus/epub/fonts folder. Can someone who had done this on there Sony PRS 600 give me step by step instructons on how to change the font for reading epub books please. I have tried everything and nothing changes. I want a bold font to read the main text of the epub book. Thank you for any help given. |

jacko,
there are 2 different kind of Fonts in 600, one is used for menus / LRF, other is used by EPUBs. Which of them do you want to change? |

EPUB styles (not fonts!) are to be put into /database/system/PRSPlus/epub/, you can put font files wherever you want, you are referencing them from your CSS files, so you can update paths to it accordingly.
Regarding the whole procedure, better check first comment here ("Epub file fonts"): http://code.google.com/p/prs-plus/wiki/InstallGuide |

I have read that article, thanks. This is what i have done. I put the following files into the root /database/system/PRSPlus/epub/ folder on my Sony PRS 600 Ebook, original.css style.css userstyle.css Then i put the following font file into the root/fonts folder on my Sony PRS 600 Ebook, Fontin-Bold.tff But i still do not see the correct font. This is what is in each of the css files, @font-face { font-family: "Fontin"; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Regular.ttf); } @font-face { font-family: "Fontin"; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Bold.ttf); } @font-face { font-family: "Fontin"; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Italic.ttf); } body { font-family: "Fontin", serif; widows: 0; orphans: 0; } Am i doing everything correctly ? |

Ok thanks to both of you.
When i said root .. i meant the root of the Sony PRS 600 .. not a folder called root. I will have to edit the ebooks i think. Because i have tried all sorts of ways to do this. Once again thanks. If anyone has the fontin bold or droid bold css and font ( inside the correct folders for the Sony PRS 600 ) can you please attach them to this thread in a zip or rar file. |

And it's probably just a typo for this forum, but make sure your fonts are named exactly the same as the css file names them, or they won't load. You have some listed as .tff, and the css file named .ttf. Probably a typo like I said, but double check exact spellings. Last edited by Ripplinger; 02-28-2011 at 02:23 PM. |
