Embed referenced fonts not embedding fallbacks.
Suppose I have something like this set in the CSS of an epub file:
Code:
font-family: Bookerly, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Segoe UI Historic", sans-serif; Problem is, I need the rest also in there as a fallback for special symbols that my kindle doesn't support natively. Is there any way around this? Modifying things manually isn't really a feasable option because I'm trying to set things up for automatic conversion using fanficfare, so all I can really do is specify fonts in the CSS. |

The CSS you posted does not do what you think. What it does is use the first specified font if available and if not you get the second font if it's available. If not, it moves on to the next font and if that's not available, then you'll get sans-serif. My suggestion is to try ChareInk7SP and see if you get the characters you want. ChareInk7SP has a lot of extended characters and very well may have what you are looking for. Here is where you can get ChareInk7SP. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=184056 |

Ah. I guess what I was trying to do isn't really possible then, because I specifically am looking for an automatic solution.
And since this is just for throwing weekly chapters of webnovels onto my kindle for comfortable reading, it's not really worth putting more effort into this. On the other hand, if I *did* want to put in the effort, I suppose a plugin to search through the text and wrap a span around characters with missing glyphs shouldn't be too hard. |
