Changing Fonts problem

Blackadder · 06-27-2012, 10:41 AM

I've been using this method http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/201...a-sony-reader/ for some time now to change the fonts on my 650.

It's worked without fail until recently where 2 books refuse to accept the change. I've used the quality check plugin to see if they've embedded fonts, but they apparently do not.

So I'm stumped, and ideas what it could be or what I need to check

Unzip the epub using TweakEpub option and find the .css file. Look for any unwanted font-family: statements which may be referencing the 'wrong' font and delete them.

Just a small clarification, it is now called Tweak Book, because it unpacks epub and mobi files.

So it is! I hadn't noticed as I just type 'T', the shortcut key.

instead of using a specific font-family in the Extra CSS, just use sans-serif and serif as the font-family like these

@font-face {
font-style: normal;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/DejaVuSans.ttf);
}

@font-face {
font-style: normal;
font-family: serif;
font-weight: bold;
src: url(res:///Data/fonts/DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf);
}

I prefer sans-serif so I use the sans-serif font for serif.
