using custom font for newspaper recipe

mufc · 03-03-2011, 08:30 PM

When I see this in a recipe.

@font-face {font-family: "sans1";src:url(res:///opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0003m_.ttf)

Where is the font residing exactly. When I convert an epub book I can put extra css in common options. Where does this code point to in a newspaper recipe ? I have a sony 650. Do the fonts reside on the sony or in the c/program files/calibre2/resources/fonts.
Not sure what "opt" means in the code.

/opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0003m_.ttf is a location on the SONY, one you cannot access yourself but that the SONY's rendered can

You can even specify your own fonts stored on the reader.

For example of that see this thread

I know how to do that when I convert epub books by using extra css in preferences common options but how do I do the same for my newspaper downloads.
How do I point to the font on the reader in that case.

For that you need to modify the recipe itself and add location to your fonts. There is no other way.
