Font Help

Japes · 06-25-2011, 02:28 PM

I have an SD card on my 360+ and have a folder in the root called "fonts." My reader is NOT reading the fonts in there. What am I doing wrong?

The PB360+ should have a fonts folder on the device itself. Copy your fonts from the sd card into this folder.

I did. And, of the four varieties only two are available

perhaps a silly suggestion, but have you checked that all the font files have extension .TTF (if not, just rename them to change the extension)?

Japes · 06-26-2011, 08:53 AM

Yes, they are all OTF files that I renamed with a TTF extension, but, again, only two of the four variations are showing up.

Billi · 06-26-2011, 12:34 PM

Where is this "showing up", in which menu? I would guess only the regular and the bold variants are showing up and not the two italics? How about inside the books, if you have a text with italics?

Japes · 06-26-2011, 02:17 PM

While reading a book, the menu that allows you to switch fonts is ONLY showing the Bold, and the Italics.

Japes · 06-26-2011, 06:42 PM

So this hasn't happened to anyone else before?

Billi · 06-27-2011, 06:41 AM

Obviously not. Does it only happen with one special font or with all? And if you use this font does your text appear in bold/italics or in regular style?

Japes · 06-27-2011, 07:05 AM

It happens with Caecilia. The four fonts are:

Caecilia-Bold
Caecilia-Heavy
Caecilia-BoldItalic
Caecilia-HeavyItalic

Then I tried renaming:

Caecilia-Bold renamed Caecilia-Regular
Caecilia-Heavy renamed Caecilia-Bold
Caecilia-BoldItalic renamed Caecilia-Italic
Caecilia-HeavyItalic renamed Caecilia-BoldItalic

Nothing worked.

Japes · 06-27-2011, 07:06 AM

It displays the regular, correct, font, but, there are parts that are bolded, and they don't appear in bold.

troll05 · 06-27-2011, 08:26 AM

From my understanding of Caecilia this is not a font family with regular / bold / italics / bold italics, but four different fonts. And as they are already bold and heavy types, there is no "bolder" type available.
I have PMN Caecilia 75 bold (only one font type) installed and it supports italics, but you are true, bold is not shown.
Maybe have a look here with several Ceacilia fonts, maybe you'll find one who matches your needs

As for the question, why only two of the four Fonts are displayed, I have no clue. Maybe corrupted data?

Japes · 06-27-2011, 08:30 AM

I don't know why it would be corrupted data. It works on my Sony readers.

Japes · 06-27-2011, 08:31 AM

Those fonts you linked to are the exact same ones I ahve, so I don't quite understand what you mean when you are suggesting this. Please advise.

Billi · 06-27-2011, 09:17 AM

The font family from Troll's link consists of the Roman, Bold, Italics and Bolditalics styles (the heavys are additional, they don't belong to the four basic styles).
It doesn't help to rename the bold font to regular because the name is stored in the font itself, too.
