How to convert ebooks with original character set?
Hi everyone,

as per title, when I convert an ebook, if the same fonts used in the ebook are not installed on the pc, Caliber replaces them with another type of fonts, for example arial.
Is it possible to get the original font when converting?
Thanks!

Regards
David

It would be useful to implement in caliber a function that identifies the fonts of an ebook.

Anyway, thanks!

Fonts have Licenses.
You can't just add them, especially if the book is for distribution. Each font hast terms that must be followed. A few are Free (legally)

Polish does have an option to embed referenced fonts. The burden is on you if you tick that box.
The other option is for you to carefully substitute a similar, cheap (legal) font.

Auto just is not a good plan
