Questions regarding fonts

[lordofazeroth]

On my mini I installed DejaVuSans fonts. All DJV Sans. Bold, BoldOblique, Condensed, Cond. Bold, Extralight, Mono etc.

But choosing the font on the Mini there are only Mono and Condensed listed.

1)
How can I get the other fonts, I like to have Sans.


2)
When there is only one font, such as Sans, does it contain italics?
So if a epub text shows something in italic is it shown with sans only or does this need the sans-italic ttf font file?

I'd suggest reading the first part of the Modified Fonts thread with special attention to the file naming convention required by Kobo's ereaders.

See: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=204363

For the Deja Vu fonts I installed, I used the following file names to match the internal font naming:

DejaVu Serif-Bold
DejaVu Serif-BoldItalic
DejaVu Serif-Italic
DejaVu Serif-Regular

DejaVu Sans-Bold
DejaVu Sans-BoldItalic
DejaVu Sans-Italic
DejaVu Sans-Regular

The other critical item to remember is to power cycle your Kobo after installing a new font. Otherwise, the results are "interesting".
