Soulafein: Just to get it clear: both Calibre and Koreader *do* use the font you embedded into the epub file? And you *did* embed it (the actual font data, not just the CSS), right?

First: Calibre and KOReader do use the font Almendra (from http://www.fontsquirrel.com). And I embedded epub with that font with all styles (regular, Italic, Bold, and BoldItalic). Calibre says the epub has no problems.

This is direct link for my test epub https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87265994/Test.epub. Search for "?" instead of "ą, ż, ś, ć, ś".

The Almendra fonts have no glyphs for "ą, ż, ś, ć, ś" and the fallback font in koreader is "Droid Sans Fallback" which doesn't have these glyphs neither.

You can set fallback font to "FreeSerif" at line 23 of koreader/frontend/document/credocument.lua to display these glyphs properly.

1. But why in Calibre these font has correct non-latin glyphs ??? Am I right??

2. And yes I did some research on fontsquirrel site and there is no "ą, ż, ś, ć, ś" in Almendra italic and bold style. At least I know that I need to find font with proper polish support on Italic and Bold style such as "Alegreya" font. Thank you

Calibre is probably falling back on a font with wider unicode coverage than the default KOReader fallback, as chrox mentioned.

Me and my friends report freeze of koreader on exing koreader on kobo aura HD firmware 3.2

hawhill · 03-14-2014, 03:43 AM

That should probably go the the Kobo Koreader thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...216960&page=68 - I think it was discussed there, a fix was proposed, which is in the new releases. Note, though, that the location of the (nightly) release downloads has changed back to Github again!

Hi again:-) Will floating puntuaction be included in next realeses??

rmbx · 03-14-2014, 07:44 PM

The file manageer function of Koreader together with Kual is quite good. But I suggest two problems. First the popup menu for "copy,cut,paste and delete" is too small and easy to get wrong. Especially the paste button and the delete button are too close, it is very easy to push wrong. The most important thing is that the delete function has no confirmation. So make the popup menu even bigger and give a confirmation for delete.

Another problem is when I use file manager, I came across two auto bootup of my Kindle. I don't know why.

soulafein · 03-15-2014, 05:42 PM

New problem:
Why every beginning chapter/file do not respect css margin/padding style ??
For example:
I set in css style:
h1 {margin-top: 1em;
margin-bottom: 1em}

and h1 start without gap at the top of the screen

How can I fix it??

rmbx · 03-19-2014, 09:06 AM

Anybody can tell me what is the function of koreader's filemanager(no framework)? After I exit it ,the kindle will sure boot.

Asparagus · 03-26-2014, 08:40 AM

Is there any way to enable nightmode (inverted screen to white fonts/black page) on PW2? If not: is it planned to implement this feature?

Thx.

Asparagus · 03-27-2014, 05:45 AM

Koreader/kpvbooklet does not show book covers in cover view on PW2 - is it normal? Is it possible to view book covers?

Thx.

hawhill · 03-27-2014, 06:11 AM

Regarding covers: I don't think there's something like this yet.

Same applies for a night mode. Though that would be much simpler to implement - it's basically just changing a line in the source right now - and it wouldn't be too hard to add a configurable item you can toggle from within Koreader. That said - noone sat done to do it, yet. I'll not get to do it in the upcoming weeks, too much other stuff.

How can I enter Go to page number.

Request...

I want some function on Koreader for column. Hard to read some journal such as HBR, Reader's digest...

At setting page, there are 1, 2, 3 column function. But I cant change it like Duokan.
I love Koreader. If it has such function, it is perfect. I don't install Duokan because it consume much storage on device. It is not worth to install just for reading two columned journal..

Thank.
