DR800 Chinese Font Support Problem

[overdrunk]

Greetings from a Chinese user.

I installed the Chinese font support for DR800SG under the initial firmware. I attached the folder structure and files I used in installing the support. The folder structure was like
SD root
└─Programs (folder)
│ InstallChinese.desktop
│ RemoveChinese.desktop
│
└─_chinese (folder)
│ restore.sh
│ install.sh
│
└─fonts(folder)
Basically, it is about the same thing as installing the FBreaders. Under the firmware 1.0, Chinese TXT worked fine. And if I added CSS
@font-face {
font-family:"my font";
src:url(res:///usr/share/fonts/ttf/my_font.ttf), url(res:///my_font.ttf);
}
, the Chinese epub also read fine.

Today I upgraded the firmware to 2.0 beta, now the epub files do not work well (txt in epub fiels becomes ???, the txt files still work well). I guess there is only a path problem in the CSS file. I do not understand much of the linux. Can any high-hand give me a hint how to change the CSS path to correct the epub reading problem?

Thank you!

Any linux high-hand up here? Please help.

Thanks, bro. I installed the Chinese support using the method by this link. It worked for the firmware 1.0, but stopped working (only for epub) for the 2.0 beta firmware.

The 2.0 firmware now adds proper support for CSS userStyles and loading of resource URI's.

I believe it will work if you change your CSS to:

@font-face {
font-family:"my font";
src:url(res://fonts/ttf/my_font.ttf);
}

All resources will now be loaded from /usr/share by default.

See also /usr/share/userStyle.css on the device.

Thank you, thank you!

Hello, Matthijs,

You may missed one / after res://, right?
unfortunately this did not work out (tried both res:// and res:///).

Hmm, strange. It should have 3 slashes indeed. And you did make sure the font is actually copied into /usr/share/fonts/ttf/my_font.ttf?

Our userStyle.css does the following, which works fine:

@font-face { font-family: sans-serif; src: url(res:///fonts/ttf/DejaVuSans.ttf)}

You may need to add your custom font-face definition into our userStyle.css?

what about adding other fonts for other languages? How do we do that on the DR800SG? I tried to modify the installation files from Chinese and use a different directory with another font, but it didn't work.

Matthijs，

Where is the userStyle.css? We have to hack the source code?

thanks

The location was already mentioned in message #5 in this thread:

If you want, you can make /usr/share/userStyle.css a symlink to /media/mmcblk0p1/System/userStyle.css and have easier access to it for editing.

You can probably also create a symlink /usr/share/fonts -> /media/mmcblk0p1/System/fonts and put all sorts of TTF and OTF fonts in there... (untested)

Hello, Matthijs, where is this folder? I mean, /usr/share ? I could not find it.

Hello, euzen, where did you put your fonts? Did you use the CHinese hack the Hi-pda provided?
