Preserve Font Type and Color? (ePUB to MOBI)

maurices5000 · 09-09-2013, 07:09 PM

Its not a big deal really. My biggest problem was trying to figure out why the fonts were being converted WAY TOO SMALL! I read the post here and finally found one that solved that problem.

Nevertheless, i thought I'd ask if there was a way to preserve the original font type from the ePUB file? Looks like they are being converted to Times New Roman.

Another question is whether or not i can preserve the font color? Again not a big issue. I just want to preserve as much of the original book as possible.

I've attached a screen shot of Look & Feel settings. If i need to attach the files I can.

I usually use the default settings. I only change the file names when i convert.

Here is a question why doesn't Calibre open AZW files?

I have no problem with AZW files (as long as they do not have DRM).

The DRM will stop Calibre opening them as the Calibre Reader always needs epub files, so to open any other format Calibre has to be able to do a quick under-the-covers conversion to ePub and DRM protected files cannot be converted.

The file was a ePUB file to begin with but for some reason, it would not open as a AZW file. Hmm... OK, I'll try to see if i can try something else. The books don't have DRM.
