IQ How do I get more fonts on my PB IQ 710's FBreader?

Farhad · 02-27-2011, 10:00 PM

Hi,

My favorite software to read on my PocketBook IQ 701 is FBreader. I just have one question: how can I add more fonts to FBreader (especially for Russian UTF-8 encoding).

Thanks!

Farhad

1- Create "Fonts" directory in the root of the external card
2- Copy truetype fonts to new folder
3- Fonts show up as settings options for FBReader, Moon+, Coolreader3

Worked for me too! Now how do I do this same thing on my Archos 70? I use FBreader and CoolReader and they both say that I can use external ttf's. Help, somebody please!

It should work the same.
Do you have an SD card?
Try there.

When it doubt, create a Fonts folder everywhere you can think off and drop a different font family in each.
Then fire up the app and see which, if any, of the fonts show up.
For coolreader, look for a CR3 folder. Wherever you find it, that will be a good place to try.

Thanks, fjtorres! I got it to work on CoolReader by putting the fonts in the cr3 folder like you suggested and it works. I'm still playing around with FBreader, though. Thanks again!
