[GUI Plugin] Generate Cover

[dunhill]

Feedback on the attached test version would be appreciated - I will release this as 2.5.0 once the poor translators have stopped swearing at me for making so many changes - thanks all who contribute to that!

This has occupied most of my weekend - if it really does float your boat as I hope it will then please don't forget to donate

Spanish translation complete! It's always a pleasure to help with translations.

Hello..
I just came back & started using calibre again after 2 years. Last calibre version I used was 8.9.0. After updating both calibre & the plugins today, I found something odd with the Generate Cover plugin.
Many of the fonts I have used before are not working anymore! For example, I have mostly used a font called Eras ITC. The last time I used in Dec 2024, it worked flawlessly. But now, it's not working anymore. I can choose the font from the dropdown menu, but it's not rendering correctly. I don't know whether this is because of changes in Calibre or changes in the plugin itself.
I am attaching the .ttf font files below so that you can notice the difference when rendering the font in the plugin vs rendering it in a word file.
Please fix this issue if possible.

Look a few pages back for the issues people had with calibre and fonts. It is nothing to do with this plugin, it is issues with Qt6 that calibre updated to. There was some supposed workaround that could be done proposed in one post but I didn’t personally read the details, its not a plugin issue.
